apt-get error: "SysV: не найдено"

В системе Ubuntu 14.04 мы установили elasticsearch 2.3.4,

Система была обновлена ​​до 16.04

apt-get update & upgrade пытался обновить до elasticsearch 2.4.4,

Но теперь мы получаем эту ошибку:

Я даже пытался вернуться с systemd на upstart-sysv, но после перезагрузки ничего не изменилось.

Любые идеи будут приветствоваться.
