[Bug 2023536] Re: package sysv-rc (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d', which is also in package init-system-helpers 1.62

[Steve Langasek]

sysv-rc 2.88dsf-41ubuntu6 is not part of Ubuntu 22.04.  It is part of
Ubuntu *14*.04, which is 9 years old - old enough that the transitional
Replaces: field from init-system-helpers to sysv-rc has been dropped.

Installing Ubuntu 14.04 packages on Ubuntu 22.04 is not supported.

** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu)
