Hi,

Usually people are recommending to uninstall and reinstall the package.
That is harder to do on init.

But you could try to do:
$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install init

I wonder as it is just an almost empty package where not that much should be able to break, but to be sure If the former doesn't help could you report back with the output of these commands:
$ dpkg -s init
$ dpkg --verify init
$ debconf-show init
$ dpkg -L init
