Comment 8 for bug 290874

Hang on, I'm wrong! I shouldn't have just skimmed through your post before replying ;)

Ok, so what you're saying is that the stop action failed during the upgrade because the daemon had failed to start earlier for some other reason. Missing the "--oknodo" option from start-stop-daemon would cause this, and you should probably open another bug report for that as the stop action should always exit gracefully if the daemon is not running (that issue is separate from this bug).

Thanks for spotting that.

Other than that, can you verify that the Intrepid fix for this original bug works, by running the test case above?
