I've recently done a small dist-upgrade on 7.1/wheezy that failed ( https://dpaste.de/iVgQo/raw/) and I can now no longer do a reboot or halt. When I try, I get this error:
shutdown: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl See this attempt at shutdown and halt: https://dpaste.de/N1tch/raw/ Is this a known issue, or does anyone know how to fix this? I'm stumped so far. I have not yet tried a hard shutdown since this is a remote server and I fear not being able to get access again after seeing this bug report while researching possible solutions: https://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2657
