The error is in the package post-installation script

/var/lib/dpkg/info.slpd.postinst

line 9:   update-rc.d slpd remove


All that is needed is the addtion of "-f" as in

update-rc.d -f slpd remove


Is the addition of a "-f" too arduous for the maintainer of this package to do 
in nearly 18 months since this bug was first reported?
