It happens only when collectd cannot resolve current host's FQDN. Here's what I found in /var/log/syslog:
Jan 10 16:50:43 collectd collectd[24039]: Looking up "************" failed. You have set the "FQDNLookup" option, but I cannot resolve my hostname to a fully qualified domain name. Please fix you network configuration. I edited /etc/collectd/collectd.conf and changed FQDNLookup true to FQDNLookup false Now the installation goes through as the init script is able to successfuly restart collectd. So the bugfix would be to install the collectd package with the FQDNLookup set to false.
