Subject: [Bug 787549] Re: package plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu23 failed to 
install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error 
exit status 137

The error in the log is:

Setting up plymouth (0.8.2-2ubuntu23) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Killed
dpkg: error processing plymouth (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 137

This does not indicate a problem with the plymouth package, but that the
process was killed externally. A look at dmesg shows that the lzma
process was killed with an out-of-memory error:

[15910.895238] Out of memory: Kill process 24472 (lzma) score 248 or sacrifice 
child
[15910.895243] Killed process 24472 (lzma) total-vm:381472kB, 
anon-rss:282432kB, 
file-rss:856kB

And this is not the first process that was killed; before killing lzma,
the kernel first had to kill firefox *and* the X server due to lack of
memory.

I see from the log that you have no swap space enabled.  Since your
system doesn't appear to have enough memory to run the desktop and do
kernel updates without it, it is strongly recommended that you enable a
swap partition or swap file.

There isn't anything we can do here to reduce the memory requirements of
the update, so marking the bug report as invalid.
