In my case it was cups and some other packages (forgot which ones).
The workaround was to rename /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d to something else
(or use dpkg-divert), copy /bin/true to /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d, then
(depending on what state your machine is on) either run "apt-get -f
install", or "dpkg --configure -a", or re-run the upgrade process.
After that, restore the original invoke-rc.d (or remove the divert).
