Ingo, why don't you just get the upstart-compat-sysv (upstart-* suite) package from Gutsy and do this (from a Terminal):
#!/bin/sh # this is a script or you can do one command at a time: cd /tmp mkdir upstart # now get (all) packages from the Gutsy archive: wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/upstart/upstart-compat-sysv_0.3.8-2_i386.deb # you need these for sanity wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/upstart/system-services_0.3.8-2_i386.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/upstart/upstart_0.3.8-2_i386.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/upstart/upstart-logd_0.3.8-2_i386.deb # extract to /tmp/upstart dpkg -x upstart-compat-sysv_0.3.8-2_i386.deb upstart # again, this is just for sanity dpkg -x system-services_0.3.8-2_i386.deb upstart dpkg -x upstart_0.3.8-2_i386.deb upstart dpkg -x upstart-logd_0.3.8-2_i386.deb upstart # override the files in /etc/event.d with the new ones: sudo cp upstart/etc/event.d/* /etc/event.d/ That will give you a working system again.
