Sorry for the noise. Here is yet another script fragment, this time to extract the list of installed and upgraded packages in the dangerous period. I did not know about the /var/log/dpkg.log file before this morning.
sed -n "/installed sysvinit 2.86.ds1-16/,/installed sysvinit 2.86.ds1-18/p" /var/log/dpkg.log | awk '/ upgrade / { print $4 } / installed / { print $5 }' | sort -u These packages, if they contain an init.d script, are the ones needing a reinstall.
