Thanks for the suggestion but that isn't it. The init script is not
stopping the processes but even if I kill it by hand and then upgrade I
still get the failure in the pre-removeal script.
So I hacked the init script to just return 0 which allowed the
installation to finish at least. Not a pretty way of doing this, I was
just wondering if there was a better way.
Thanks for your help
Steve
