That suggests that you tried to downgrade libplymouth2 separately from
plymouth.  As I said, you should list both packages on the commandline at
the same time, i.e.:

 apt-get install plymouth=0.8.2-2ubuntu2 libplymouth=0.8.2-2ubuntu2

If you're still getting this error, please post the full output of the
command, not just the last error message.
