[Bug 1004230] Re: package hsqldb-server 1.8.0.10-9ubuntu2 failed to uninstall: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[maarten]

Didn't work for me. I cleared out the sections 'start' and 'stop' in the
script /etc/init.d/hsqldb. Then did the sudo apt-get purge hsqldb-server
and finally I got rid of this thing. Not something you want to tell an
Ubuntu newbie about ...
