I can confirm this bug also affects Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily).

Below is my output when I do 'sudo apt-get install i8kutils':

Setting up i8kutils (1.41) ...
Job for i8kmon.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status i8kmon.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

The output of "systemctl status i8kmon.service" is:
