I can't install this package, but on every update it appears in the list of updates. I must unclick it in order to install the other updates.
when I try to unistall it, the system reports me it doesn't installed already, when I try to installit (sudo apt-get install sysvinit) it generates me this error.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
