[Bug 1616368] Re: Unable to upgrade ubuntu server from 14.04.4 to 16.04.1

[Adrien]

Hello,

I've the same issue like Benjamin Curtiss..

As Ubuntu 14.04 will be soon EOL, it's complicated that we can't upgrade
the OS from 14.04 to 16.04 right now..

I don't have postfix installed neither old init.d scripts on my server.

  So, i removed bind9 and apache2 from init.d and tried to fix it :
  ~# dpkg --configure sysv-rc

  Errors were encountered while processing:

  And now i'm missing some important binairies (like halt, shutdown and runlevel) :
