NSCD 2.3.6-13 Problems?

["Clarence W. Robison" <robison@kimberly.uidaho.edu>]

Hi,

I am attempting an update of NSCD from 2.3.6-7 to 2.3.6-13 on an ETCH box. 
Aptitude reports the following:

Selecting previously deselected package nscd.
(Reading database ... 97436 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace nscd 2.3.6-7 (using .../nscd_2.3.6-13_i386.deb) ...

dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

Starting Name Service Cache Daemon: nscd.
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/nscd_2.3.6-13_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
Press return to continue.

Any hints on how to proceed? I did not find leads in the bug reports for 
nscd.

TIA
Clarence
