Package: yaws
Version: 1.77-3+lenny1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***


Hi,

while trying to upgrade my machine from Lenny to Testing with an
installed, but not running, Yaws, I get failures from prerm that it was
impossible to stop yaws (no wonder, it wasn't running in the first
place):

Preparing to replace yaws 1.77-3+lenny1 (using .../apt/cache/yaws_1.84-2_i386.deb) ...
Stopping yaws: invoke-rc.d: initscript yaws, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: warning: old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
Stopping yaws: invoke-rc.d: initscript yaws, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing /home/apt/cache/yaws_1.84-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /home/apt/cache/yaws_1.84-2_i386.deb


I created a band-aid by editing /etc/init.d/yaws to simply "exit 0" as
the first action for the "stop" option, but this is generally
undesirable.


Kind regards,
--Toni++
