--- Begin Message ---Package: mpd Version: 0.13.2-1 I have my music on an external drive, which isn't always connected. This causes mpd to fail on startup ('/etc/init.d/mpd start' gives an error). So far, so good, that behaviour is not surprising to me. However, while upgrading, mpd tries to start, too, which fails and subsequently the whole installation fails. There are two things here I consider wrong: 1. It shouldn't start. Before the upgrade it wasn't running so it shouldn't suddenly run afterwards. Of course, that's a point that can be argued and I don't actually care that much. 2. Installation shouldn't fail when starting fails. Failure to (re-)start should give a warning, but it should absolutely not cause the whole installation to fail. cheers Uli
