This also affects me. I marked my own bug report (Bug #1594204) as a
duplicate this.

I've already done an install --reinstall, as "axel" was afraid to do,
and that does not affect the error in any way.

Also, the files that that script is looking for-- are confirmed to be
physically on my system.

Background on me? Check my memberships. I am somewhat modest, but am
used to tracking problems down and coming up with work-arounds.

Error Message on mine is:
/scripts/init-premount/plymouth: line 38: /sbin/plymouthd: not found
/scripts/init-premount/plymouth: line 38: /bin/plymouth: not found
/dev/sda3: clean 605474/22757376 files, 66338383/91016257 blocks
/scripts/init-bottom/plymouth: line 18/bin/plymouth: not found

My results of: $ ls /sbin/plymouthd && ls /bin/plymouth
/sbin/plymouthd
/bin/plymouth
...which confirms that those files are there.

## Specific errors are from ##

# script codeblock from usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-
premount/plymouth staring at line 33 is:

if [ "${SPLASH}" = "true" ]
then
        mkdir -m 0755 /run/plymouth
        /sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session 
--pid-file=/run/plymouth/pid
        /bin/plymouth --show-splash
fi

# script line from usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-
bottom/plymouth line 18 is:

  /bin/plymouth --newroot=${rootmnt}

## End Code ##

My results of: $ sudo ls -l /run/plymouth
  total 0

So it is creating the /run/plymouth, but is empty (no pid file)

I am running the animated ubuntu-sunrise theme... the affects the boot
theme, but not the shutdown theme. If I change themes, the boot theme
will work once, then be boinked again. But the errors are showing even
in that instance of the boot theme working...
