Source: docker.io
Version: 1.8.3~ds1-2
Severity: normal
After (unsuccessfully) trying to play around with docker, I wanted to remove it
but since the docker daemon was not running due to another problem, the prem
script failed:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
docker.io*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
After this operation, 30.1 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Removing docker.io (1.8.3~ds1-2) ...
[....] Stopping Docker: dockerstart-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 13578:

Errors were encountered while processing:
docker.io
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The easiest solution for me to get rid of the package was to change the lines
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/docker" ] && [ "$1" = remove ]; then
invoke-rc.d docker stop || exit $?
fi
in /var/lib/dpkg/info/docker.io.prerm so that it won't exit with an error if
the initscript fails to stop docker. Even then, /var/lib/docker and /etc/docker
were still present after _purging_ the package.
I would expect an initscript to react gracefully on a stop command if the
daemon is not running or at least I would expect the maintainer scripts to do
so.
