Package: postgresql-8.1
Version: 8.1.3-4
Severity: normal
Upgrading from postgresql-8.1 8.1.3-3 to 8.1.3-4 stops the server daemon:
,----[ desired case ]----
| Stopping PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: main.
| Unpacking replacement postgresql-8.1 ...
`----
If the server is not running, stopping the server fails, subsequently
causing the entire package installation to fail.
,----[ error case ]----
| Preparing to replace postgresql-8.1 8.1.3-3 (using
.../postgresql-8.1_8.1.3-4_i386.deb) ...
| Stopping PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: maininvoke-rc.d: initscript
postgresql-8.1, action "stop" failed.
| dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
| dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
| Stopping PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: maininvoke-rc.d: initscript
postgresql-8.1, action "stop" failed.
| dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/postgresql-8.1_8.1.3-4_i386.deb (--unpack):
| subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
| Starting PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: main.
`----
Obviously, in case of a running daemon, it is a good idea to shut it
down before an upgrade.
However, if it hadn't been running in the first place, failing to stop
it should not be an error preventing the package upgrade.
