I am not sure if it is a good idea to let outdated packages pile up like
that. If you create your own unique mix of new and old packages then you
might create your own unique problems. At the very least I would make
sure that all the "required" and "important" packages are up to date
before installing new software. (NB: This is a general remark, your
current problem might have other causes, see below.)

Looks like something is wrong with the "initscripts" package on your
system. Maybe it is outdated. What do you get from

apt-cache policy initscripts

?
