** Description changed: + + (rcludw 1/6/07) + + Apt get complains that the package didn't install correctly and refuses + to deinstall it. The problem is in /etc/init.d/upnpd. + + The init script contains bashisms that break in Edgy. + + Also the init script requires configuration before it can be removed + with apt-get. This error led apt-get and dpkg to believe that there was + a problem with the installation when there really wasn't. + + + Fix: + + Apply the patch attached below to /etc/init.d/upnpd, and rebuild the + package. + + + ============= + For some reason, I tried installing this. During the setting up and configuring process, I get hit with this: Setting up linux-igd (0.cvs20060201-1) ... External interface not specified in /etc/default/upnpd invoke-rc.d: initscript upnpd, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing linux-igd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: linux-igd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Afterwards, I tried reinstalling, which didn't work, and then decided to remove it completely. It won't remove itself though: Removing linux-igd ... External interface not specified in /etc/default/upnpd invoke-rc.d: initscript upnpd, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error processing linux-igd (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 External interface not specified in /etc/default/upnpd invoke-rc.d: initscript upnpd, action "start" failed. dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: linux-igd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Though it would be nice to see this package working, I just want to remove it now just so I don't get the same error each time I run apt- get/synaptic/adept whatever.
