I am definitely NOT trying to switch inits! I'm not sure why this happened. I simply ran an `apt-get dist-upgrade` per the log I posted ( https://dpaste.de/iVgQo/raw/) and it did it. I don't know what triggered it... all I can say is that, prior to this, my normal upgrades have been done with `aptitude upgrade`. The only reason I did the extra dist-upgrade is that apticron was telling me about those updates, they didn't happen with `aptitude upgrade`, so I bumped up to the `apt-get dist-upgrade`. I've since found this bug report, so I'm apparently not alone (and I also happen to be running under openvz... hmm): https://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2647 I've tried re-installing upstart (ugh... "Yes, do as I say!"): http://paste.debian.net/plain/21059 We'll see how that goes. I'm ensuring I've got full backups in place before trying a reboot.
