My Raspberry Pi runs Debian Jessie. After installing Mosquitto I cannot run sudo reboot any more: it always responds, "Failed to talk to init daemon."

This error occurs even after uninstalling Mosquitto. What could be the problem?

pi@fhem:~ $ sudo reboot

Failed to talk to init daemon.

Try:

sudo reboot -f

-f, --force Force immediate halt, power-off, reboot. Do not contact the init system.

or

sudo shutdown -r now

If you really want to stick to systemd you can also do

systemctl --force --force reboot

Yes, you need twice the force.
