Dear Andreas, the bug is due to the script /etc/init.d/udev missing: as python-expeyes depends on udev, the only case where this file can be missing is when both udev and python-expeyes are purged (which can be done by an automaton like piuparts, but is seldom made by a real user).
I shall modify the postrm scripts to verify the existence of the init script before its invocation. Best regards, Georges.
