Check out this github comment and the one directly below it (for copy pasteable script) for some solution that worked for me.
For ease of anyone visiting, here's the comment's important text (though you should thumbs up the guy on the github comment if you're able):
(I had to do it after running sudo -s or prefixing each line with sudo)
cat > /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
exit 101
EOF
chmod +x /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /sbin/initctl
ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl
