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.
500 http://
*** 1.13.2-0ubuntu9 0
100 /var/lib/
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.

Vivid uses systemd by default now, instead of upstart. Is this on a non-standard system configuration?
