Okay!! It is a tricky situation now. The old, buggy version, has the bug that you cannot stop the daemon. When the dpkg installer calls it with the stop target, it exits unclean. And because of this, dpkg aborts the installation. I have a sure feeling that it is fixed but I'd like you to confirm. To work around it, you will have to brute force part of the installation. Attached with this email is the new initscirpt which has the fix. You need to take this initscript and overwrite it to the one in /etc/init.d/ Once you do that, you should not see the installation failure and you can work further on your tests.
