Problem installing package git-all [duplicate]

I am trying to install git-all using the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git-all

and I get the following results:

jonathan@Aristotle:~$ sudo apt install git-all

I found this response to a similar question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/728581/how-to-fix-error-processing-package-git-daemon-run/728748#728748 but none of the solutions mentioned in it worked for me. Any ideas on how I can proceed from here?

I discovered that this is a Ubuntu bug that has been reported as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/runit/+bug/1448164.

The problem exists because runit depends on upstart and Ubuntu changed to using systemd in 15.04. The workaround is as follows:

sudo apt-get purge runit
sudo apt-get purge git-all
sudo apt-get purge git
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git

Basically you completely get rid of runit, git-all and git, cleanup the apt database and then re-install git. Instead of installing git-all again cherry pick the packages that you actually need and install those.

Get rid of runit and git-daemon-run. Install git-daemon-sysvinit instead. git-daemon-sysvinit is an alternative for git-daemon-run, and it actually works on Ubuntu 15.04 and up.

Once you install git-daemon-sysvinit, the dependencies for git-all should be met, and you can proceed.
