[Bug 95225] peercast-servent can not be uninstalled

[Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: peercast-servent

peercast-servent was installed as a dependency of the desktop program 'geekast'
Uninstalling geekast fails because of errors relating to 'peercast-servent'.

I've removed this package, because it didn't seem to function anyway.
But it might be due to port settings, so I didn't fill a bug about that.
However, I should be able to _remove_ the package.

Specific output:

Removing peercast-servent ...
Stopping Peercast peer to peer broadcasting: invoke-rc.d: initscript peercast-servent, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing peercast-servent (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
