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?  [You could just print a
warning.]
