I had the same problem and it seems the `service hsqldb-server stop` fails only if the mode is WebServer. My solution: change /etc/hsqldb.conf mode from WebServer to Server kill both processes Server and Websever using `kill -9 <pid>` service hsqldb-server restart apt-get purge hsqldb-server #now it works!
