Got this issue while upgrading 12.04 -> 14.04 -> 16.04 on step 14.04 -> 16.04.
Simply removed /var/lib/dpkg/info/util-linux.postinst with 'sudo rm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/util-linux.postinst' and run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f'.

insserv: Service mountdevsubfs has to be enabled to start service hwclock
insserv: exiting
Thank you Mekk, this got me out of a mess up an upgrade.

linux.postinst and removing all update-rc.d calls. All those were
related to hwclock (I will probably reinstall hwclock at some time in
the future to fix it up). As I
I see the same error message when upgrading from 14.04 to 15.04. Is
there a workaround?

I can't see anything relevant in util-linux, and there are similar
errors for unrelated packages (procps, and udev).
There is one difference in the recent sysvinit which might be related:
