Title:
  sysv-rc exits at kubuntu upgrade to 14.10

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.10
  Release:        14.10
  sysv-rc:
    Installed: 2.88dsf-41ubuntu18
    Candidate: 2.88dsf-41ubuntu18

  I expected the kubuntu upgrade manager to upgrade the
  package but the script or whatever it is exited with status code 1.

  so basically I had to migrate the system
  myself to the new LSBInitScripts System and Dependency Based Booting,
  but I am not new to compiling code and stuff ...
  but for the "normal user" this would be quite the end of his installations lifetime.
  I had to remove one init script (virtualbox) because it caused a loop in insserv
  and I had to edit the init script file of virtuoso-nepomuk and add " END INIT INFO"
  because the maintainer forgot as mentioned above (this is the complete way how I got rid of the bug)
  and then I said "dpkg --configure sysv-rc" - the migration worked ... then I set up all the half-installed
  packages from the distribution upgrade. Now everything is working again.
  hth anyone
  kind regards

  insserv log before migration worked:
  info: Converting rc0.d/S* and rc6.d/S* to K*.
  ls: cannot access S*: No such file or directory
  ls: cannot access S*: No such file or directory
  info: running insserv
  insserv: script virtualbox: service vboxdrv already provided!
