Bug#552092: Cannot purge: invoke-rc.d: initscript trousers, action "stop" failed.

[Enrico Zini <enrico@debian.org>]

Package: trousers
Version: 0.3.1-10
Severity: serious

Hello,

trousers does not seem to work for me, so I want to purge it. But
purging trousers does not work:

# dpkg --purge trousers
(Reading database ... 264922 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing trousers ...
Stopping Trusted Computing daemon: invoke-rc.d: initscript trousers, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing trousers (--purge):
 subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Starting Trusted Computing daemon: tcsd.
Errors were encountered while processing:
 trousers

A work around is to put an "exit 0" at the beginning of /etc/init.d/trousers


Ciao,

Enrico
