Bug Description

After an install of Xubuntu from daily, an update and upgrade calls for upgrade of various plymouth* packages. This results in

W: plymouth: The plugin xubuntu-text.so is missing, the selected theme might not work as expected.
W: plymouth: You might want to install the plymouth-themes package to fix this.

Installing plymouth-themes gets the same warning.

Yeah, this is mostly a cosmetic issue (the scripts exits with 0 and everything you are expected to get is in the initramfs). It should affect any flavors with a text detail theme relying on another module (like on the ubuntu-text one).

I'll remove the harmless warnings for this case with the next upload, thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.9.2-3ubuntu4

---------------
plymouth (0.9.2-3ubuntu4) xenial; urgency=medium

  * debian/local/plymouth.hook:
    - disable harmless (in the ubuntu case, where we control supported official
      and flavors themes) warning which confuses users for flavors not using
      a compiled text theme (LP: #1524937)
