[Bug 1615281] Re: package initscripts 2.88dsf-59.3ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Steve Langasek]

The error in the log is:

Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (you may need to install the strict module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl/5.20.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.20.2 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl/5.20 /usr/share/perl/5.20 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/sbin/update-rc.d line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/update-rc.d line 6.
dpkg: error processing package initscripts (--configure):

The strict.pm module is part of the perl-base package, which is an
Essential package.  With perl-base 5.20.2-6ubuntu0.2 in 15.10, this is
available at /usr/share/perl/5.20/strict.pm, which is part of the listed
path.

This looks to me like a broken installation, rather than a bug in an
Ubuntu package.  What version of perl-base is installed at this system,
and is /usr/share/perl/5.20/strict.pm present?
