Package: runit Version: 1.0.5-3 Followup-For: Bug #234106
The actual problem lies with the call: kill -s HUP 1 at the end of the script, as this does not necessarily succeed. When that's the case, the package is in "half-configured" state. Then, when the package management system next tries to configure it, it's *another* error that pops up: The existing SV entry. [As far as I can tell, the "idempotency" rule of install scripts is there to prevent such situations.] That's why the previous report is a bit misleading. So, could you remove the problematic call from the install script, or at least, make it so that a failure of that call will not imply that the installation wasn't successful?
