The problem occurs when sfcbd refuses to stop on SIGTERM. provider-register.sh checks that sfcbd is really stopped and fails if it isn't, resulting in a failed install.

Solution is to have a more aggressive stop in /etc/init.d/sfcb, like --retry=TERM/10/KILL/5

When you hit the issue It can be workarounded by manually killing the sfcbd process and sudo dpkg -- configure -a to finish the install.
