--- Comment #4 from Malte S. Stretz <m...@apache.org> ---
I started digging a bit further and wrapped my head around how this is all
supposed to work. I /think/ (hard to tell without the actual error message)
that I run into this error:
https://github.com/KDE/plymouth-kcm/blob/v5.26.1/src/helper.cpp#L305

If I understand that code correctly then it does try to find a foo.plymouth
file directly within /usr/share/plymouth/themes/plymouthgrub_banksy -- that
directory exists but this theme seems to be "special" and the plymouth file
actually exists in a subdirectory:

> # find /usr/share/plymouth/themes/plymouthgrub_banksy -name '*.plymouth'
> /usr/share/plymouth/themes/plymouthgrub_banksy/banksy_plymouth/banksy_plymouth.plymouth

That's probably also why the install never worked properly. It looks like the
current ::install code would never have installed this theme due to that but
back in 2020 it probably did.

I guess the best way forward would be to check if any alternative is actually
registered in the theme directory via `update-alternatives --query
default.plymouth`. And only if that gives a result try to remove it.

And of course display an error message if something fails.
