[Bug 1873008] [NEW] package lubuntu-grub-theme (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: error creating symbolic link './boot/grub/themes/lubuntu-grub-theme/icons/ubuntu.png': Operation not permitted

[System Admin]

Public bug reported:

I have tried to install lubuntu-desktop meta and the lubuntu-grub-theme 
(current and the previous version 20.04.2) package individually.
I have also removed snapd in the event this was a snapd permissions issue.
The error is still encountered.
