Check to see if you have these versions:
$ apt-cache policy sysvinit-utils
sysvinit-utils:
  Installed: 2.87dsf-4ubuntu23
  Candidate: 2.87dsf-4ubuntu23
  Version table:
 *** 2.87dsf-4ubuntu23 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ apt-cache policy libc6
libc6:
  Installed: 2.13-0ubuntu13
  Candidate: 2.13-0ubuntu13
  Version table:
 *** 2.13-0ubuntu13 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

 Easy way to test if they are working & not the issue (note you'll be
rebooting, so clear any applications you have running first):

$ sudo -i
# apt-get install --reinstall libc6 && shutdown -r now

 on reboot

$ dmesg | grep orphan
