I had the same problem. Which version are you using ?

check if you have the "halt" or "reboot" commands on bash. When it 
happened to me it turned out that something has removed them (along with 
the "init" command). To resolved this issue I did :

~$ apt-file search bin/halt
klibc-utils: usr/lib/klibc/bin/halt
klibc-utils: usr/lib/klibc/bin/halt
molly-guard: usr/sbin/halt
molly-guard: usr/sbin/halt
sysvinit: sbin/halt
sysvinit: sbin/halt
upstart-compat-sysv: sbin/halt
upstart-compat-sysv: sbin/halt

then I installed sysvinit to get it back.
