Status in plymouth source package in Xenial:

Bug description:
  Impact
  ------
  Many packages call pymouth --ping and if plymouthd is hung then the package installations can fail.

  
  Test Case
  ---------
  1) Run 'sudo /sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session --pid-file=/run/plymouth/pid'
  2) Observe plymouthd is running ('ps aux | grep plymouth')
  3) stop the plymouthd process 'sudo kill -STOP $PID'
  4) Run 'plymouth --ping --debug'
  5) Observe that the plymouth --ping command hangs

  With the version of plymouth from -proposed you will receive the
  following output instead.

  bdmurray@clean-artful-amd64:~$ plymouth --ping --debug
  [ply-event-loop.c:759]               ply_event_loop_stop_watching_fd:stopping watching fd 6
  [ply-event-loop.c:775]               ply_event_loop_stop_watching_fd:removing destination for fd 6
  [./plymouth.c:82]                               timeout_handler:ping: timed out waiting for plymouthd
  [./ply-boot-client.c:810]        ply_boot_client_detach_from_event_loop:detaching from event loop

  Notice how the ping command times out.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  Its possible that the timeout of 2 seconds isn't long enough but that seems unlikely.

  Original Description
  --------------------
  I tried to upgrade linux kernel, from 4.10.0-26 to 4.10.0-28, but the installation hung on the following output lines:

  sudo apt-get install unrar linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-signed-generic linux-signed-image-generic
  Configurazione di linux-image-4.10.0-28-generic (4.10.0-28.32)...
  Running depmod.
  update-initramfs: deferring update (hook will be called later)
  Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.
  run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal 4.10.0-28-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-28-generic
  run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 4.10.0-28-generic /boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-28-generic

  Then I looked at the running processes, and noticed this one was
  blocking post-installation:

  plymouth --ping

  I could not but manually kill plymouth, then the script resumed just
  to freeze again a few line later and so on, but is that safe for the
  installation?
