Title:
  Ubuntu 15.04 - Failed installation of ubuntu-desktop package (whoopsie
  package)

Status in whoopsie package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  -- Problem Description --
  When installing the ubuntu-desktop package in Ubuntu 15.04 during the set up of a package the following message is displayed and the installation doesn't go any further:

  Setting up whoopsie (0.2.47) ...
  Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServi24)yName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 2
  Failed to execute operation: Connection timed out

  I am able to reproduce this issue when installing the ubuntu-desktop
  package on top of a fresh install, but in a different test, I tried to
  install only the whoopsie package where the package installation stops
  and I did not see this issue.

  I am attaching below the full log of the apt-get installation.

  The problem is on starting the systemd script. If I stop it, it makes
  progress. There are other systemd initi scripts that are failing
  also...

  Mauricio, the installation of the packages went properly by adding the
  init=/sbin/upstart to the boot line. I attached the full installation
  log above.

  But when restarting the system, the following message is issued and
  the system doesn't seem to be bootable anymore.

  * Restoring resolver state...                                                                             [ OK ] 
   * Starting uuid generator uuidd                                         [ OK ] 
   * speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher
  /lib/init/init-d-script: 12: /etc/rc2.d/S02whoopsie: -c: not found
  basename: missing operand
  Try 'basename --help' for more information.
   * saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned

  Interesting. It installed, but failed to stop services.
  Hm, it seems that whoopsie thing is broken intermediarily between upstart and systemd.

  Trying to get rid of whoopsie may help.
  Do you need an 'Ubuntu error tracker submission' tool? :)

  I'd suggest you to try to remove it.
  If some things depend on it, and are not important, pull them off/ignore dependencies, and try again. That might help.

  Nonetheless, it's certainly worth a launchpad bug for Canonical to
  look at.

  Another work-around, much less disruptive, is just ignore the rc
  script failing in the reboot chain. :)

  You can find a symlink for it in /etc/rc{6,0}.d (reboot/shutdown)..
  just renaming it to w/out a leading K should effectively disable it
  from the reboot/shutdown runlevel change chain.. and hopefully that
  will get the issue out of the way for now.

  Ah, the other comment mention it's rc2.d (an startup/single user
  runlevel, IIRC).. you can try the renaming there to, but to w/out a
  leading S.

  IIRC this command should achieve that too:
  $ sudo update-rc.d whoopsie disable
