DId you verify that everything had finished installing w/o error? For interrupted installs: dpkg --configure -a
and then: apt-get update && apt-get autoclean && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove Would make sure that everything was installed properly, what you decribe to me sounds like a system that didn't actually finish it's upgrade/install process and was rebooted.
