Package: sysv-rc Version: 2.86.ds1-15 Followup-For: Bug #378280
When trying to remove apache2, I got this error and dpkg won't continue: > * Stopping web server (apache2)... > ... failed! > You may still have some apache2 processes running. There are > processes named 'apache2' which do not match your pid file, > and in the name of safety, we've left them alone. Please review > the situation by hand. [fail] invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "stop" failed. If I check what is going on: $ ps aux|grep apache2 root 4888 12.8 12.2 131936 126684 pts/2 T+ 18:56 0:03 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 41 --force-depends --force-remove-essential --purge apache2-mpm-prefork leiota 4941 0.0 0.0 4040 744 pts/1 R+ 18:56 0:00 grep apache2 Well I just imagine that invoke-rc.d believes that dpkg process is actually apache2 and breaks on that. I haven't found a workaround so that I cannot uninstall any daemon program. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
