Tags: moreinfo unreproducible Hi Marko.
Thank you for your bug report. I'm not sure it's raised against the correct package tough, or I will need more information to analyze this problem.

The path you mention is used in a "case" branch specific to *buntu and Tanglu derivatives, and not for Debian. Please have a look at the contents of 05_debian_theme. >Possibly this bug should be filed against grub-common instead, because >grub-common owns the file /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme which references >the directory /usr/share/plymouth/themes. Yes, I'd agree with that but I'm still unsure this is the real cause of your problem. >Here are some versions of packages: > >desktop-base: 9.0.1 >grub-common: 2.02~beta3-3 >systemd: 232-12 >plymouth: 0.9.2-4 > >I got the hang with systemd 232-9 and 232-11 before installing >plymouth. I have a VM with up to date stretch and installed desktop-base 9.0.1 from sid, then uninstalled plymouth* and I could not reproduce the issue. Additional information would be welcome !
