unable to install anything using apt-get because of insserv

Question

Whenever I try to install something using apt-get I get the error messages involving insserv. I have tried install many different packages but everything give same error. And apparently, CUPS package is doing/has done something because every error message involves it. The following are the errors displayed when I ran sudo apt-get install wine1.8 winetricks:

I don't know any other relevant information that might be important for solving this, that's why I haven't posted it. If you want more info, please feel free to ask.

首先，问题在于您卡在启动顺序上。

引导顺序方法是在安装或升级期间决定的。如果所有已安装脚本的 LSB 标头声明的依赖项中没有循环init.d且没有过时的脚本，则系统将转换为基于依赖项的引导序列。

我们必须检查

1. 循环依赖项：发生在 >

   • 某些脚本中缺少 LSB 标记或 LSB 标记中存在错误，例如丢失 Required-Start:或Required-Stop:标记
   • 一些脚本依赖于依赖于系统设施的其他脚本，$all这不可能是真的。因为依赖的脚本$all在启动时最后加载。因为它最后加载，所以没有什么可以依赖它。因此，搞乱了基于依赖的启动顺序。

2. 过时的脚本：发生在

   • 一些升级到更新版本的软件包可能不使用脚本，/etc/init.d/维护者可能错过了删除旧脚本的代码。不是我们的错误。

原因肯定是外国的。转到/etc/init.d并查看对应的文件cups-browsed并确认它有一个 LSB 注释，其中包含Provides, Required-Start/ Required-Stop（至少为空）, Default-Start/ Default-Stop，如下所示。

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides :          cups-browsed
# Required-Start :
# Required-Stop :
# Default-Start :     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop  :     0 1 6
# Short-Description : Some info
# Description :       Some more info
### END INIT INFO

如果没有的话，你必须选择添加的LSB评论或完全清除程序和脚本/etc/init.d/和/etc/rc?文件。希望这会奏效。
