In fact it's not the nagios2 prerm that fails, it's the nagios2-common one. It is run after the nagios2 one in upgrade situations. This minimal patch fixes it.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ I'll post a cleaner (but heavier) patch soon, that will make use of dh_installinit --error-handler option to show a "Nagios was probably already stopped" message (and avoid the lintian warning about lack of #DEBHELPER# in nagios2-common.prerm). ** Attachment added: "nagios2_upgrade.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15438709/nagios2_upgrade.patch -- package nagios2-common 2.9-1 failed to upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220208 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nagios2 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
