Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Seems irda-utils has an invalid init.d script:

insserv: warning: script 'irda-setup' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: There is a loop between service watchdog and irda-setup if stopped
insserv: loop involving service irda-setup at depth 2
insserv: loop involving service watchdog at depth 1
insserv: Stopping irda-setup depends on watchdog and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!

tags: added: bot-stop-nagging
affects: systemd (Ubuntu) → irda-utils (Ubuntu)
summary: - package udev 208-8ubuntu8.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
- installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
+ broken SysV init script
