I am also facing the same issue which says /etc/init.d/nis missing.
I am stuck in some important setup. So please let me know how to resolve
this issue.

[SRU] package nis 3.17-32ubuntu1.2 failed to install/upgrade: invoke-rc.d:
unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/nis not found.

this workaround allowed installation to proceed for me:
touch /etc/init.d/nis
apt-get install nis
rm /etc/init.d/nis.dpkg-bak
Apparently it is assuming that the nis startup file exists, but it
doesn't actually matter what's in it.

Very painful issue - system NIS server non functional and whole network
is on a go slow (with timeouts), I do not know of a workaround. I tried
force etc. but it all still fails.
Interestingly nis installed on the clients - just seems to be this
server upgrade so it may be a dependency (?) type
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Upgraded 11.10 KVM and NIS host to 12.04:
Unpacking nis (from .../nis_3.17-32ubuntu4_amd64.deb) ...
invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/nis not found.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/nis_3.17-32ubuntu4_amd64.deb
(--unpack):
subprocess new pre-installation script
I suspect the invoke-rc.d line needs to be wrapped in the -e part of the
of the check?
The current preinst code looks like:
# Manually remove the nis init script, which has to be split into per-daemon
# upstart jobs
if dpkg --compare-versions $2 lt-nl 3.17-32ubuntu1.1
then
# since this
