Hitch installation completed with insserv errors. Unable to start hitch

Solution 1:

Maybe you're better off using the official packages instead. You can find them on https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/hitch.

These packages are maintained by Varnish Software, contain a more recent version of Hitch, and are regularly updated.

There are Ubuntu packages available for 16.04, or more recent versions.

The following commands will get the job done:

$ curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/varnishcache/hitch/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
$ sudo apt install -y hitch
