I don't know if it's the right place to fill in my "bug report" ... I
had this error on Ubuntu 12.04.1 doing an upgrade via apt-get:

nicola@popeye:~$ sudo apt-get remove courier-authlib-mysql
Reading package lists... Done

Removing courier-authlib-mysql ...

dpkg: error processing courier-authlib-mysql (--remove):
 subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 courier-authlib-mysql

After some other tries I had a:

dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
/var/run/courier/authdaemon/pid.lock: No such file or directory

which lead me to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=540374
- a Debian's known bug since 2009 (!!!). Following the tip of starting
courier-authdaemon, running the upgrade and then stopping it all went
ok.
