[Bug 1607874] Re: package sysv-rc 2.88dsf-59.3ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[somekool]

I have succeed doing the upgrade of this important 14.04 machine to
16.04

I went through the long error logs
/var/crash/sysv-rc.0.crash and the longer one on do-release upgrade


 and I found this piece of info...

I had a custom init.d file that depend on rc.local
but rc.local depends on $all

there is a script that tries to convert init script into systemd 
but could not figure out which comes first
my script depending on rc.local and rc.local depending on $all did not make sense.

I also deleted all packages that I could

and the upgrade succeeded

list of packages I have removed
