Hello, yes, this is a dupe of another bug... The problem is that wifi-radar 
won't shut down properly with device = auto_detect.  in the configuration 
file. If you replace the auto_detect with your real interface (e.g. eth2). 
then it will remove/upgrade whatever cleanly.

Greetings
Patrick

ps:I'm working on a solution. It couldn't be that it is necessary to modify 
the configuration file.
