Installed: 1.14.0-2.1ubuntu0.1

After upgrade to 1.14.0-2.1ubuntu0.1 0 from proposed, the following errors show up:
Setting up insserv (1.14.0-2.1ubuntu0.1) ...
mv: `/etc/rc0.d/S90halt' and `/etc/rc0.d/S90halt' are the same file
dpkg: error processing insserv (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 insserv
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Reverting to the version from oneiric/main solves the problem.

got the same problem with natty/proposed.

ok - after distribution upgrade to precise beta1 - this wrecked the system: intiscripts cannot be configured due to the same error. And a lot of necessary packages remain unconfigurable. ....reinstalling

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

[Tom Chiverton (bugs-launchpad-net-falkensweb)]

This same issue occurred on my upgrade to 12.04 beta 2.

Let the system unbootable with the new kernel because initrd wasn't there.

Booting an old kernel (11.10) left me with no (wireless) networking, and although X started, the mouse didn't work.

Fortunately I was able to unpack the initscripts package, add a '&' to the end of the 'mv' lines, rebuild and install that, then re-run apt-get upgrade.

The above is far beyond most users ability, who would be looking at a trashed laptop - I suggest we raise the fix priority !

Having the same problem:

mv: target `/etc/rc0.d/S90halt' is not a directory
dpkg: error processing insserv (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I have this issue on 11.10 without a release-upgrade.

[joe4379 (joe4379-n)]

Upgrading to insserv_1.14.0-2.1ubuntu2 using the launchpad deb fixed it for me.

[joe4379 (joe4379-n)]

That is, the Precise version works for me.
