Ok, it looked like the postinit of cupsys and rsync were using 'multiuser'
argument of update.rc, which Ubuntu on my computer did not support.
$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 7.10 \n \l
i changed the following lines :
cupsys.postinit : line 185 , replace
#update-rc.d cupsys multiuser 19 >/dev/null
with :
update-rc.d cupsys start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 80 1 . >/dev/null
rsync.postinit , line 13 : update-rc.d rsync start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20
1 . >/dev/null
after doing these changes :
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
