I encountered this twice so far and I have no idea what causes it. But
it seems to be a known Systemd issue:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=152830

The directory /var/run has to be a symlink which needs to point to /run.

Do a "vzctel enter <vpsid>" and then run these commands:

mv /var/run /var/run.bak
ln -s /run /var/run
ln -s /run/lock /var/lock

Then restart the VPS and it should be good again.
