modemmanager does not install on 15.04

Make the file using touch, or search http://packages.ubuntu.com to see if a package provides the file

Using Touch? Please explain that one as I am unfamiliar with that on a PC.
I did do a search for initscripts for modemmanager and came up nil and is
 why I posted this. Is very upsetting as the entire boot process is
demolished for something this stupid! So, you bet want to fix it and need
help. I see many others out here with this same problem and am sure they
would also be happy for it to be solved!

What is the exact file name in the error message?

The Unix command "touch" creates a file or modifies its access date.

If the system complains that it cannot find file /abc/def, the you can either search on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to identify a package that should install that file and install that package, or you can use the command "touch /abc/def" to create an empty file with that name. (caveat: there is required syntax for the files in /etc/init.d, so creating an empty file there might result in other problems.)
