[Bug 1436956] Re: Critical system files such as /sbin/shutdown and /sbin/init missing after updating upstart

[Jürgen]

I switched to upstart because systemd was broken. I recovered by
changing the default to multiuser and then installed upstart again.

Title:
  Critical system files such as /sbin/shutdown and /sbin/init missing
  after updating upstart

Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1)
  Description:    Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
  Release:        15.04

  2)
  upstart:
    Installed: 1.13.2-0ubuntu9
    Candidate: 1.13.2-0ubuntu10
    Version table:
       1.13.2-0ubuntu10 0
          500 http://mirror.cloud.online.net/ubuntu-ports/ vivid/main armhf Packages
   *** 1.13.2-0ubuntu9 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What you expected to happen
  System continues to run normally with critical system files (listed below) intact.

  4) What happened instead
  The following critical system files are all missing after updating the upstart package using apt-get:
  /sbin/halt
  /sbin/init
  /sbin/poweroff
  /sbin/reboot
  /sbin/runlevel
  /sbin/shutdown
  /sbin/telinit

  This is a serious bug which could prevent rebooting/shutdown of the OS
  and completely disable it due to missing /sbin/init.
