</div></div>Because the mythtv-backend package no longer installs it. It is GONE. (assuming you meant /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend)<br>

it's definitely tailored for upstart usage. I can send it to you if you
like, but dpkg says it comes from package mythtv-backend:<br>
<br>
dpkg -S /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend <br>
mythtv-backend: /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend <br></div></div><br>To see if your package thinks it contains the script:<br><br>dpkg-query -L mythtv-backend | grep /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend <br><br>That should at least tell you if it was removed from the package or if something else removed it from your system when you weren't looking.<br>
