apt-get grade problem
Weird problem, hopefully someone can shed some light.
Trying to do an apt-get upgrade and I get this in return

Where is this, which provider?
chattr -i /sbin/init then try again.
Try:
'apt-get -f install' and/or 'dpkg --configure --pending'
I had this error also on all of my BuyVM boxes. Every other box upgraded just fine.
It means that your init was likely eating a LOT of CPU.
I think debian may have rolled the ubuntu init bug I need to confirm but we have a script that updates init and chattr's it to stop it from happening again.

I also have this prob in my buyvm great lowend vps
I remember in some early Debian 6 OpenVZ templates they had serious issues with init eating all the CPU and causing the entire system to be awfully slow and cause many things to break.
Although the issue no longer exist with the newer ones.
sudo chattr -i /sbin/init
Is what fixed this for me also.
yep that fixed for me also
