Ubuntu - vasd fails - vasd main process (754) terminated with status 1 (4249579)

On Ubuntu the VASD process fails to start on boot up with the following log entry:

 kernel: [  ] init: vasd main process (755) terminated with status 1

ERROR: according to /var/opt/quest/vas/vasd/.vasd.pid vasd appears to be running already

This was caused by an error in the upstart script.

Bug 315499
* package: Changed the ubuntu startup script so vasd does not rely on network.

This was fixed in version 4.1.0.20429
