As a workaround solution, you can add (with su rights) the --oknodo
option to the init script. This should allow you to at least install the
new package (the old one will still fail to remove though since the
postrm is still wrong). In /etc/init.d/trousers Just change the line:
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile
/var/run/${NAME}.pid --exec ${DAEMON}
to
start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet --pidfile
/var/run/${NAME}.pid --exec ${DAEMON}
After you have installed the new package, you should be able to remove
it. Please confirm it here (or otherwise).
Thanks.
