Package: thttpd
Version: 2.23beta1-4
Followup-For: Bug #172879

Hi. I recently installed thttpd from testing, but I found some little
(but quite annoying) problems.
I have apache running on the machine, and I was installing thttpd for
testing purposes. I expected that Debconf would ask me to change the
port of the webserver (similarly to the boa webserver installation script),
or that thttpd will not start and that I'll find a message in the log.

None of the above options were true: I was NOT asked to choose another
alternate port, and the message said "Starting thttpd server: started."
(or something like this: no errors reported!); and in the same way, NO
error was written in the logfile.

In fact NO thttpd server was running, there was a stale pid file in
/var/run, and trying to restart via /etc/init.d didn't work, due to the
error in removing the stale pid file.

I had to 
1 - change manually the port
2 - delete manually the stale pid file
3 - restart the server using /etc/init.d (and now it worked correctly)

I think this error is related also to the #247930 and to the #334610
bug.
