trusty → xenial upgrade fails to upgrade /etc/init.d/binfmt-support

[Olivier Dierick]

Hello folks,

Same issue as bug #1566333 but for package binfmt-support.

After upgrading from trusty to xenial, the command 'sudo update-rc.d dbus defaults' gave me:

initctl: Impossible de se connecter à Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connexion refusée
The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
job, but lsb-header is not supported for Upstart jobs.
insserv: warning: script 'binfmt-support' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming empty start runlevel(s) for script `binfmt-support'
insserv: Default-Stop undefined, assuming empty stop runlevel(s) for script `binfmt-support'

This was the content of /etc/init.d relating to binfmt-support:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 nov 25 2011 binfmt-support -> /lib/init/upstart-job
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1322 fév 21 16:19 binfmt-support.dpkg-new

'sudo mv binfmt-support.dpkg-new binfmt-support' solved the issue.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Could you please add the log files from /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to this bug report?
