Brian for this machine, I was able to fix the issue by removing each conflicting item from /etc/init.d/. I thought I updated the bug report to reflect that with a link to the thread that helped me.
But on my work machine, the upgrade didn't automatically appear. I used do-release-upgrade -d and now that machine is completely destroyed. I cannot even get it to drop into recovery mode. This upgrade has been the worst by far of all the LTS. This is a very serious reliability issue especially that I am too concerned to do upgrades on all the other machines in the office. If this forces me to have to take out paid tech support from Canonical it will be a very serious matter considering costs incurred by force caused by product defect created for public consumption. I'm am hedging revealing this issue to my supervisor until I see some real fixes that will make the upgrade work. In addition, if this becomes a trust issue that would cause additional work hours to go back to testing upgrades before deployment, we will have to seriously consider a different distribution. I am very sorry to have to be so direct in this way. We've trusted Ubuntu for 7 years.
