it shows:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2235 Oct 4 14:25 /etc/init.d/rc
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1190 Oct 4 14:25 /etc/init.d/rcS

I found the following:
the /bin/sh was missing, as well as /bin/bash. I linked:

ln -s /bin/zsh bin/sh

Basicly seems like the whole system is not working properly:
"apt-get dist-upgrade"  wants libc6.
"apt-get install libc6" says that it cannot get the debconf version. The
debconf version is ofcourse installed... So, the first task in the moment
is to find a way to install libc6...

 (a lot of things in /lost+found/.)is there a way with apt-get or so to recover the
previous state of the system?
