Apparently it is, however I see a couple of differences on this use case. First, we are using different versions, mine are more up to date. Second, the only use case when I faced this bug was when trying to install postfix as MTA. Either stoping/starting issuing invoke-rc.d works fine, but pidfile is left, however it creates another (updates it) after start. For my use case I can add that when dpkg removes exim4-base it stops the daemon, then when it tries to remove exim4-daemon-ligth it also tries to stop failing since its no longer running (confirmed by ps aux). Then the removal process fails rendering postfix unable to install and the MTA in a broken state until I put back exim4 packages. regards -- Rudy Godoy | 0x3433BD21 | http://www.htu.com.pe ,''`. http://www.apesol.org - http://www.debian.org : :' : GPG FP: 0D12 8537 607E 2DF5 4EFB 35A7 550F 1A00 3433 BD21 `. `' `-
