[Bug 1766574] Re: Installation failed if systemd isn't installed: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found

I ran update and upgrade just now and the new rsyslog (8.32.0-1ubuntu4)
caused error on my server affecting initramfs-tools as well. Running
"dpkg --configure -a" and "apt install -f" won't fix it. I hope next fix
won't cause other error.

  Ubuntu Bionic docker container missing Priority: Import; Task:minimal package.

  If you have an image that doesn't have systemd installed, installing
  rsyslog fails with the following error:

    /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28:
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found

  If I install the systemd package, the rsyslog installation succeeds.

  This is with with version 8.32.0-1ubuntu3 in bionic.

  A quick way of reproducing this is to grab the latest docker bionic
  image and try to install rsyslog in there.
