Package: bitlbee
Version: 3.0.3-1
Severity: normal

I upgraded from 3.0.1, and had 2 separate bitlbee processes running.
The init script failed to stop the old, and started a new.

This happens because of the way start-stop-daemon is used. 

        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE \
                --exec $DAEMON -- -p $BITLBEE_PORT -P $PIDFILE $BITLBEE_OPTS

         -x, --exec executable
                Check  for  processes  that  are instances of this
                executable (according to /proc/pid/exe).

Since your prerm does not stop bitlbee on upgrade, by the time the 
postinst tries to restart it, the executable has been replaced, and
start-stop-daemon cannot stop it.

To fix, you should instead of using --exec , 
use --pidfile /var/run/bitlbee.pid

(I have the default BITLBEE_UPGRADE_DONT_RESTART=0 setting)
