Hmm. When I installed plymouth, the only thing it pulled in was libplymouth4. According to the logs, I then installed libgtk3-perl a few minutes later, prior to rebooting. That pulled in libcairo-gobject-perl and libglib-object-introspection-perl. But those wouldn't affect the prompt for unlocking the disk, would they? mike
