Installation problem Debian Wheezy cgroupfs-mount

Greetings,

During installation of Docker following the procedure for Debian 7.X, I am lost after the following error message:

cgroupfs-mount is managed via upstart, try using service cgroupfs-mount s[FAIL… failed!

Googled it and found only one related entry on the debian bugs list.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783143

Any ideas or help would be very welcome.

Cheers,
BR

Setting up cgroupfs-mount (1.1~bpo70+1) …
[…] cgroupfs-mount is managed via upstart, try using service cgroupfs-mount s[FAIL… failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript cgroupfs-mount, action “start” failed.
dpkg: error processing cgroupfs-mount (–configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
cgroupfs-mount
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I’m having the same issue. still no luck

Edit:
I fixed it by using these command
mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/cgroupfs-mount.* /tmp/
dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq cgroupfs-mount
apt-get purge init-system-helpers
apt-get install aptitude -y

aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade
apt-get install init-system-helpers
apt-get install docker-ce
