Package: plymouth
Version: 0.8.8-14

During startup, this output appears for the fraction of a second - after
plymouth displayed the animated splash screen just like it should.

---8<----cut here---8<----cut here---8<----cut here---8<----cut here

[FAIL] startpar: service(s) returned failure: plymouth ... failed!
---8<----cut here---8<----cut here---8<----cut here---8<----cut here

This *may* be related to #632737, as I am also using lightdm.
Possibly these two programs still don't play along nicely.

I've tried it with plain wheezy (plymouth package version 0.8.5.1-5)
first, then, as the package maintainer suggested doing so, with the
later plymouth versions available in jessie/sid and experimental
(apt-pinning was used so that only plymouth and its dependencies were
pulled from non-wheezy sources). The bug remains present even with
0.8.8-14 from experimental, so I'm filing it against that version.

Note: I'm using plymouth and lightdm within a debian-live environment,
i.e. a system booted from an ISO image and loaded into RAM - just in
case that makes a difference.

No configuration was attempted, plymouth is running in
default-after-package-install mode.

Further info, in case it's relevant:
