Thanks for the suggestion but that isn't it. The init script is not stopping the processes but even if I kill it by hand and then upgrade I still get the failure in the pre-removeal script. So I hacked the init script to just return 0 which allowed the installation to finish at least. Not a pretty way of doing this, I was just wondering if there was a better way.
