Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lighttpd
Hi, excuse me for wasting time if this is too minor to be a bug..
It seems lighttpd can't be uninstalled via apt-get remove lighttpd
unless it is running:
$ sudo apt-get remove lighttpd
[...]
Tar bort lighttpd ...
* Stopping web server lighttpd [fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript lighttpd, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: fel vid hantering av lighttpd (--remove):
underprocess pre-removal script gav felkod 1
* Starting web server lighttpd [ ok ]
Fel uppstod vid hantering:
lighttpd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
(pardon the partly swedish messages)
The reason lighttpd wasn't running is that I already have apache using port 80.
A very trivial workaround is to tell lighttpd to use another port, start it and
then it can be removed.
It's not a big bug, but it can be an annoyance for people who messes up
their config-file so lighttpd won't start, or installs another service
on port 80.
