I have Xubuntu 21.04 64-bit. Every time I do "apt upgrade" I have error messages:
Setting up avahi-daemon (0.8-5ubuntu3.1) ...
invoke-rc.d: syntax error: unknown option "--skip-systemd-native"
dpkg: error processing package avahi-daemon (--configure): installed avahi-daemon package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of avahi-utils: avahi-utils depends on avahi-daemon (= 0.8-5ubuntu3.1); however: Package avahi-daemon is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing package avahi-utils (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing: avahi-daemon avahi-utils
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)Could you help me? Thanks.
I've tried this command to get more info:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -f; sudo dpkg --configure -a

You need to remove obsolete sysv-rc package and reinstall the corresponding package with invoke-rc.d inside it by
sudo dpkg -P --force-all sysv-rc
sudo apt-get install --reinstall init-system-helpersand then retry running
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
