[Bug 1456670] Re: debootstrap failure: insserv: Service mountdevsubfs has to be enabled to start service hwclock

[Norbert]

Got this issue while upgrading 12.04 -> 14.04 -> 16.04 on step 14.04 -> 16.04.
Simply removed /var/lib/dpkg/info/util-linux.postinst with 'sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/util-linux.postinst' and run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f'.
