Title:
  package systemd-sysv 229-4ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: pre-
  dependency problem - not installing systemd-sysv

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Doing a normal upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 LTS.

  Upgrade of systemd-sysv failed, causing all kinds of trouble for many
  following packages, I had to click OK at least 30 times.

  Eventually the upgrade was aborted, with a message that the machine
  might be in an unusable state.

  I tried to run update-manager again. It just said that the machine
  needs to be rebooted, which I did.

  The machine reboots OK, but when logging in there is a popup about an
  error in the operating system.

  When trying to report that, Apport crashed.

  apt-get upgrade says everything is up-to-date.
