Just seen this in 19.04, I'll look for it when I next do an update on
19.10. Could this be back-ported to 19.04?

Here is a simple patch based on plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text.install that
fixes both

dpkg: warning: version '/etc/lsb-release' has bad syntax: version
number does not start with digit

and

rmdir: failed to remove '/lib/plymouth/': No such file or directory

[Bug 1597466] Re: dpkg giving warning about '/etc/lsb-release' version number not starting with a digit when there is no apparent problem in the file

[Carsten Juttner]

Also Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS here.

I tracked down the issue to the plymouth-theme-kubuntu-text.postinst
script:

Comparing /var/lib/dpkg/info/plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text.postinst and
/var/lib/dpkg/info/plymouth-theme-kubuntu-text.postinst we see that the
first has:


case "$1" in
configure|triggered)
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
# We remove leftover generated file from previous plymouth 
version. Can be removed on xenial+1
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le-nl "0.9.2-3ubuntu1~"; then
rm -f 
/lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ubuntu-text.plymouth
fi
fi


while the second has:


case "$1" in
configure|triggered)
# We remove leftover generated file from previous plymouth version. Can 
be removed on xenial+1
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le-nl "1:16.04ubuntu1~"; then
rm -f /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu-text/kubuntu-text.plymouth
fi


Notice the missing check for the "configure" argument. Also see
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/deb-postinst.5.html:

   postinst configure old-version
  After the package was installed.

   postinst triggered trigger-name...
  After the package was triggered.


The actual "bad syntax" message is then generated because
  dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le-nl "1:16.04ubuntu1~"
resolves to
  dpkg --compare-versions "/etc/lsb-release" le-nl "1:16.04ubuntu1~"
which is of course not what dpkg expects ("/etc/lsb-release" being the 
trigger-name)

So the bug seems to be a missing check for "configure" in the kubuntu
version of the plymouth-theme postinst script.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-gnome-default-settings -
16.10.1

ubuntu-gnome-default-settings (16.10.1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Synchronize plymouth-theme-ubuntu-gnome-text postinst with the postinst
from plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text to fix erroneous output (LP: #1597466)
  * Append a VERSION string to plymouth-theme-ubuntu-gnome-text's title to
give the regex something to anchor on and correctly append the version.

I think this was a bug that was fixed in plymouth several months ago,
but it's hard to tell without seeing a longer log of your apt output
(/var/log/apt/term.log* should contain the error, and context).

I've also seen this, but it occurred shortly after installing updates
for the plymouth theme for ubuntu gnome. Unfortunately, I am unable to
reproduce the issue.
