Package: varnish
Version: 2.1.5-2
Severity: important


Starting HTTP accelerator: varnishd failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript varnish, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing varnish (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
configured to not write apport reports

However I was able to stop and start varnish just fine via 
/etc/init.d/varnish {stop,start}

I ended up commenting out everything in configure) section of 
varnish.postinst, stopping varnish then running dpkg --configure.  
Although I am certain this actually reproduce the issue.

I've not seen this issue myself, or had it reported by others, since it
was reported three years ago, so I'll close it with the probably
optimistic assumption that it is fixed in a later version of the varnish
packaging, or that it was a local issue.

Thanks for reporting the bug, and feel free to reopen it if you have
more information.
