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

#metoo !

14.04 is about to go out of support, I think a lot of people will
attempt to upgrade their base AMI from 14.04 to 16.04

at least, that's my case.

if this 3 years old bug still unassigned. does this mean this upgrade
path from LTS to LTS is not possible ?!?
