Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.25
Severity: important
Dear dpkg maintainers,
I was trying to remove `fam' in an Etch chroot, but was blocked by the
following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# dpkg --purge fam
(Reading database ... 54012 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing fam ...
Stopping file alteration monitor: FAMstart-stop-daemon: nothing in /proc - not
mounted? (Success)
invoke-rc.d: initscript fam, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing fam (--purge):
subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
Starting file alteration monitor: FAMstart-stop-daemon: nothing in /proc - not
mounted? (Success)
invoke-rc.d: initscript fam, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
fam
The postinst script of fam fails because of invoke-rc.d stop fails:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# more /var/lib/dpkg/info/fam.prerm
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/fam" ]; then
if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
invoke-rc.d fam stop || exit $?
else
/etc/init.d/fam stop || exit $?
fi
fi
# End automatically added section
invoke-rc.d fails because /etc/init.d/fam uses start-stop-daemon, that does not
realise that fam is not running and fails later trying to stop it.
casee "$1" in
start)
log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- $FAMOPTS
log_end_msg $?
;;
stop)
log_daemon_msg "Stopping $DESC" "$NAME"
start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet --exec $DAEMON
log_end_msg $?
;;
The consequence of this is that it is difficult to remove not runnign daemons
on Debian.
Apparently, fam uses templates from dh-make and debhelper, so the bug may be
that the template is wrong if the behaviour of start-stop-daemon is right...
Have a nice day,

Does this message not sound as an alarm to you ??
I'm afraid there's no bug here but a user problem because you had /proc
not mounted.
Furthermore before reporting new bugs, it's always best to see if you can
reproduce it with the current sid version... s-s-d has had quite a few
fixes during the lenny cycle.
Closing the bug.
Cheers,
