Re: incomplete update(?) trashed my system
Quoting Charles Blair (c-blair@illinois.edu):

Two likely reasons: I've got some software installed that you don't,
or my listing is from a different version.

The digits before the ownerships are the number of hard links,
not the size (which I cut, along with the times). 2 means the
directory is empty, having just the . and .. links.

This directory does seem to vary somewhat, so I wouldn't worry
about it. I hadn't noticed. From various of my installations:
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Feb 18 05:00 rpc_pipefs wheezy (that's the boot-up time)
drwxr-xr-x 2 statd nogroup 4096 May 21 2013 rpc_pipefs wheezy
drwxr-xr-x 2 statd nogroup 4096 Dec 30 2011 rpc_pipefs squeeze→wheezy→jessie
drwxr-xr-x 2 statd nogroup 4096 May 21 2013 rpc_pipefs wheezy→jessie
and entirely absent from a recent fresh install of jessie.

Have you tried updating again?
Cheers,
