After I sent this I see that someone had a ticket open about this already:
http://www.packetfence.org/bugs//view.php?id=1827
I did "apt-get remove --purge packetfence" and tried again, and got the
same error. However, after removing and rebooting the server, then trying
to install again, it worked fine. My guess is that the services are still
running, and upgrading or removing the packetfence package is not stopping
services. I should have checked that before anyway, but in the future (if
my guess is correct) it might be good to have the services stop
automatically.
Thanks!
