[Giovanni Mascellani]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 1.2.9-4
Severity: normal

Hi.

I cannot install libvirt-daemon-system. If I try I receive this error:

Setting up libvirt-daemon-system (1.2.9-4) ...
insserv: script libvirtd: service libvirtd already provided!
insserv: exiting now!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing package libvirt-daemon-system (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libvirt-daemon-system
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The same happens if I purge the package:

# apt-get purge libvirt-daemon-system
[ everything ok]
# systemctl status libvirtd.service
● libvirtd.service
   Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
   Active: inactive (dead)

My hypothesis is that for some reason the postinst script tries twice to
register the service.

Thanks, Giovanni.
