I am unable to reproduce this issue. Per the changelog, sysv-rc (from
src:sysvinit) dropped the invoke.rc bits in 2.88dsf-59.3ubuntu1:
sysvinit (2.88dsf-59.3ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=low
* Dropped various changes for invoke.rc which has moved to
init-system-helpers.

Can you provide any more details, and perhaps the output for `apt policy
sysv-rc`?

Bug description:
I was trying to do a normal apt-get upgrade when I started to run into
issues. I am not sure how to fix this since it is a system package.
This system was upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04, but it was working fine
for awhile.
I started in this thread, but I could not get it working.
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2359412
This machine is now a Proxmox VM, so I have the option to do some
testing with it.
