daemon. Is the daemon running at all? You can check it with
ps -ef | grep [d]oodled
If the daemon is not running you can try the start/stop actions yourself
(as root):
invoke-rc.d doodled start
invoke-rc.d doodled stop
Maybe that will give you an error message which indicates what is wrong.This doesn't work - it still complains that the stop of the daemon fails.
If there is no error you can start the daemon again and see if that is
enough to satisfy the pre-removal script.
If all else fails you can try to force the removal of the package:
dpkg -r --force-all doodled
I then simply tried commenting out the guts of the stop function
in /etc/init.d/doodled and running the upgrade, which worked.
invoke-rc.d doodled stop still fails. Here is the function
from /etc/init.d/doodled:
DAEMON=/usr/bin/doodled
NAME=doodled
DESC="doodle daemon"
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
--exec $DAEMON
echo "$NAME."
