This is odd.
This is how the postinst script should look like:
--------------------- cut here -----------------------------
#!/bin/sh -e
case "$1" in
configure|install|upgrade)
adduser --system --group \
--no-create-home --home /nonexistent \
--quiet spampd
;;
*)
;;
esac
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/spampd" ]; then
update-rc.d spampd defaults >/dev/null
if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
invoke-rc.d spampd start || exit 0
else
/etc/init.d/spampd start || exit 0
fi
fi
# End automatically added section
--------------------- cut here -----------------------------
As you see, the invoke-rc.d result is somewhat ignored (well, the script
exits cleanly when invoke-rc.d returned an error) by appending "|| exit
0". Therefore, dpkg shouldn't return an error during configuration.
Could you please send me your /var/lib/dpkg/info/spampd.postinst?
