Just tried again from:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~arand/+archive/unstable/+build/1715057 after
deleting the previous packages. Still cannot install plymouth. Have
tried in various ways including the gui pachkage manager. One of the
command I tried gives:
barry@netbook:~/Downloads$ aptitude install -S
plymouth_0.8.2-2ubuntu3~ppa1_i386.deb

You are right - the plymouthd executable is 54k. I was tired and
looking at the wrong file. Sorry.
