On making a more detailed look for "/lib/plymouth" on my system (yakkety) I have found this:
root@ubuntu:~# find / -type f -print0 2> /dev/null | grep -EZvz '^/(dev|proc|run|sys)/' | xargs -0I {} grep -Hn '/lib/plymouth' {} /var/lib/dpkg/info/plymouth.list:36:/var/lib/plymouth /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme:42: if [ -e /lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub ]; then /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme:43: sed "s/^/${1}/" /lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub Binary file /sbin/plymouthd matches The code in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme seems not to be directly related but it contains a comment that it is not needed after xenial anymore and should probably get removed. But I'm wondering why /sbin/plymouthd has still a reference to the old path. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1525699 Title: Error message "/sbin/plymouthd: not found" is shown on booting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1525699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
