[Bug 717397] Re: package squid 2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Dave Walker]

It doesn't seem that this package handles the state where squid is in
the stop/waiting state prior to upgrade.  The previous restart style
stanzas are encapsulated in checking current  status if statements.

Setting up squid (2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12.2) ...
restart: Job failed to restart
dpkg: error processing squid (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
Setting up squid (2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12.2) ...

Aptitude did successfully recover from this situation, currently unsure
how apt-get would.  Although this has an edge case, it's a better
situation than leaving bug 725635 out in the wild.
