** 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.
