Package: postgresql-8.1 Version: 8.1.3-4 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 6.7
I tried to remove postgresql: thirtyto:~# env LANG=C apt-get remove postgresql-8.1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: postgresql-8.1 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 86 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 13.5MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? (Reading database ... 132140 files and directories currently installed.) Removing postgresql-8.1 ... Stopping PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: maininvoke-rc.d: initscript postgresql-8.1, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error processing postgresql-8.1 (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 Starting PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: maininvoke-rc.d: initscript postgresql-8.1, action "start" failed. dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: postgresql-8.1 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) (On the first invocation, it (sucessfully) removed postgresql-contrib-8.1 postgresql-plperl-8.1, but I did not record the error there) Please note, that it tries to *start* postgres again. However, postgresql does not seem to run (no ps entry) and stopping yields: thirtyto:~# /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1 stop Stopping PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: mainthirtyto:~# /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1 stop Stopping PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: mainthirtyto:~# (IMHO it should state: not running!) Also there is no script/programm called maininvoke-rc.d: thirtyto:~# find /usr/ -name maininvoke-rc.d returns nothing.
