Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.
What method of installation are you using that results in this code
failing during a CD install? The installer needs to be diverting
/sbin/initctl and replacing it with /bin/true to indicate that this is
inside an installation chroot and that errors should be ignored; we
should *not* be ignoring all errors from invoke-rc.d.

Yes, that's buggy. It may have been done this way to work around a
similar issue for that package, but it's the wrong fix.

Right, it's the correct response if the current environment doesn't
support starting of services, but it's the wrong response when the
environment *does* support it and the start comand has failed anyway.
So if this error triggers for you in the installer, then it's an
installer bug.
