Bug#379128: mldonkey-server: cannot install nor remove

[Erwan David <erwan@rail.eu.org>]

Package: mldonkey-server
Version: 2.7.7-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


after trying to upgrade mldonkey server, for each action I get :

Please set both variables MLDONKEY_USER and MLDONKEY_GROUP in /etc/default/mldonkey-server
invoke-rc.d: initscript mldonkey-server, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing mldonkey-server (--purge):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Please set both variables MLDONKEY_USER and MLDONKEY_GROUP in /etc/default/mldonkey-server
invoke-rc.d: initscript mldonkey-server, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

(and this even if "launch at startup is false...)

Filling those fields allows to complete installation. init script
should test for their existence only if real start is needed.
