The process accounting didn't run because I actively stopped it.
(echo "99 99 30" >/proc/sys/kernel/acct means that process accounting
stops whenever less then 99% of the target fs are free.)
So that's not surprising. But I think that atop still should be
upgradable cleanly, in such a situation.
The chain of events is:
- I paused process accounting using the mentioned command
- I started the upgrade
- postinst tries to start atopacct
(invoke-rc.d atopacct start, generated by dh_installinit
- atopacct waits for new accounting entries to appear, fails
after some timeout
- invoke-rc.d returns failure, breaking the update
So it really looks like a different bug. -> new ticket opened.
Set the severity to minor, as it's probably difficult to trigger under
normal circumstances.

Closing the bug then. Thanks for reporting back.
