I think util-linux init script in /etc/init.d is missing LSB information — kenn, Jul 21 '15 at 16:36

I think util-linux init script in /etc/init.d is missing LSB information

As a temporary workaround you can locate that script and add something like at top

#!/bin/sh -e
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          
# Required-Start:    
# Required-Stop:     
# Default-Start:     
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: 
### END INIT INFO

But it's not a complete solution. You will keep getting such error messages whenever you install an application that adds init script into /etc/init.d

I had similar problem and I fixed it with applying the solution in the last post on this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/insserv/+bug/467000

Note that it doesn't mean it will work in your case. And It might break your system

For LSB information check out https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts

please be careful – kenn Jul 21 '15 at 16:58
I try this solution but nothing new , still the same problem – Mgouni Youssef Jul 22 '15 at 08:40
Did you add repo aside from Ubuntu? – kenn Jul 22 '15 at 08:46
I don t understand , I m not a pro – Mgouni Youssef Jul 22 '15 at 09:21
You most probably added another repository apart from official ubuntu repositories. Your main repositories are in /etc/apt/sources.list To check out all of your repositories run software-properties-gtk – kenn Jul 22 '15 at 09:51
You can see your official repository content by cat /etc/apt/sources.list – kenn Jul 22 '15 at 09:53
I will try if it run or not – Mgouni Youssef Jul 22 '15 at 09:54

If you paste more info, it'll be helpful. I came this issue when I install anything.

Here is the issue,

Extracting templates from packages: 100%
Setting up util-linux (2.27.1-6ubuntu3.5) ...
insserv: warning: script 'S15solrd' missing LSB tags and overrides

dpkg: error processing package util-linux (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 util-linux
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

From the output I guess I didn't config solrd right. So I remove all the thing relate to solrd in rc.local or rc
