[Bug 1536930] Re: package rsync 3.1.1-3ubuntu0.15.10.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[vac]

In my case problem was caused by smfpd deamon installed by xerox printer driver.
I have removed smfpd as described here: http://wp.libpf.com/?p=162:

sudo /etc/init.d/smfpd stop
sudo rm /etc/init.d/smfpd
sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/*_smfp*.rules

It solves problem with installing/updating packages that modifies
/etc/init.d scripts (in my case it was rsync and uml-utilities)
