I cannot reproduce this bug.  In my case, when upgrading, the nscd
service is first stopped (see nscd.prerm) before being started again (in
nscd.postinst), so the upgrade works just fine.

Witness:

ubuntu@lucid-server:~$ dpkg -l nscd

For those affected, could it be that /etc/init.d/nscd is not executable
for some reason?
