I managed to reproduce the error. The exact error message is:

An error occurred during the installation process:
The installation failed with code 255 while attempting to run the command:
sddmthemeinstaller -i /tmp/sddm-veigo1-10.tar.gz

The returned output was:
Debug message from helper: Installing  "/tmp/sddm-veigo1-10.tar.gz"  into  "/usr/share/sddm/themes"
