Not sure if this is fixed or not. I just got the same error trying to upgrade from 3.0-1ubuntu4 to the version 3.0-1ubuntu6

I got the same error as above.when I use apt-get dist-upgrade to update .

Looks like their is another version now 3.0-lubuntu7, but I'm still getting the error.

I'm still having this problem. I cannot remove this package or get it upgraded.

Got this fixed on my system by rename the original init script and then running the update/upgrade again.
