pre-dependency problem - not installing initscripts
First of all, you are trying to install the initscripts package from xenial-proposed, and you should not. This version of initscripts is a pending SRU that needed to be tested very specifically for upgrades. Please disable -proposed in your apt sources and try again.
That said, this appears to confirm a very serious dependency loop on upgrade. Marking this bug regression- proposed.
