Dist-upgrade broke Debian 7

Hello!

We've got problem with Debian 7 while trying to upgrade it.

Node kernel:

Linux *** 2.6.32-042stab078.27 #1 SMP Mon Jul 1 20:48:07 MSK 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here's the info about how to reproduce the issue:

--------------------------

$ apt-get update
...
$ apt-get -f install
...
$ apt-get upgrade -y
...
$ apt-get dist-upgrade -y # we assume the problem is here:
...
Setting up sysvinit (2.88dsf-41) ...
sysvinit: creating /run/initctl
sysvinit: restarting...init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
.init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
.init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
.init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
.init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
.init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
.init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
.init: timeout opening/writing control channel /run/initctl
 failed.
...

$ # now restart the container

--------------------------

And after restart we've met very strange behavior. Container is running but unreachable via SSH:
>ssh: connect to host 178.63.152.145 port 22: Connection timed out

or 'vzctl enter':
>enter into CT 1218 failed
>Unable to open pty: No such file or directory

Looks like it stucks somewhere near init scripts.

Please tell me if there's additional info You need.
