Hi John, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report.

Searching for services which depend on erlang and should be
started.../usr/bin/sort: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting
")")

This is fairly odd, as there are other errors:

/usr/bin/dirname: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/fixrtc failed with return 2.

I wonder if perhaps your filesystem has something odd going on. ls -l 
/usr/bin/dirname /usr/bin/sort should show something like this:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/dirname /usr/bin/sort
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  31152 Nov 20 09:42 /usr/bin/dirname
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 105728 Nov 20 09:42 /usr/bin/sort

So perhaps reinstall your 'coreutils' package.

Marking Incomplete.
