Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/mpt-status_1.2.0-3_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The reason for the failure:

# /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd stop
Stopping mpt-status monitor: mpt-statusd failed!
# echo $?
1

# cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/mpt-status.prerm
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/mpt-statusd" ]; then
        if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
                invoke-rc.d mpt-statusd stop || exit $?
        else
                /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd stop || exit $?
        fi
fi
# End automatically added section

-> I don't have a running mpt-statusd, but the stop action in the
init script fails. The init script should not report an error. See
#374655 for a similar case.

Workaround for users:

chmod -x /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd
apt-get install mpt-status
chmod +x /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd
