You sir, are correct. I was mis-reading the errors as the mount point (the location) was not being found rather than mountpoint (the utility) not being accessible. Looking in /bin found mountpoint missing, so simply installing initscripts fixed everything including X. Apt did report updating 3 components so I suspect Michael was correct about the versioning. Thanks much.
