Hello, I discovered it during acpid upgrade that failed claiming that it couldn't stop and restart the service (solved by momentarily renaming /etc/init.d/acpid and then upgrading).
One example could be "freepops": $ ps aux | grep freepops carlo 8052 0.0 0.0 3212 752 pts/0 S+ 10:28 0:00 grep freepops nobody 15771 0.4 0.3 27936 7448 ? S 09:48 0:11 /usr/bin/freepopsd -p 110 -n -s nobody.nogroup $ sudo invoke-rc.d freepops stop * Stopping freepops daemon freepopsd [ OK ] invoke-rc.d: initscript freepops, action "stop" failed. $ ps aux | grep freepops carlo 11644 0.0 0.0 3212 752 pts/0 R+ 10:34 0:00 grep freepops $ sudo invoke-rc.d freepops start * Starting freepops daemon freepopsd [ OK ] invoke-rc.d: initscript freepops, action "start" failed. $ ps aux | grep freepops nobody 12303 0.0 0.0 5980 1708 ? S 10:35 0:00 /usr/bin/freepopsd -p 110 -n -s nobody.nogroup carlo 12690 0.0 0.0 3212 752 pts/0 R+ 10:36 0:00 grep freepops So that package "freepops" is stopped and started successfully, but invoke-rc.d claims that the actions failed. This happens with every service in /etc/init.d/ Please, ask for further informations if needed.
