[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#397289: nagios2-common: various ways of init script failing cause package installation to fail

[Sean Finney (or someone using his address)]

Package: nagios2-common
Version: 2.5-2
Severity: important

upgrading nagios2 with a configuration file error means the
init script fails, meaning the package installation fails.

but more importantly, upgrading nagios2 when it isn't running
results in a nonzero-failing init script, causing the upgrade
to fail.
