[Bug 399482] Re: Upgrading from bluez 4.45-0ubuntu{1, 2} to 4.45-0ubuntu3 or later fails

[Mario Limonciello]

Given the amount of breakage outside of bluez that's been happening in
the last 24 hours, it's been decided trying to add cases in here to fix
upgrades between 4.45-0ubuntu{1,2} and 4.45-0ubuntu3 is not an important
scenario.  Upgrades work from earlier versions.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: bluez
  
  Preparing to replace bluez 4.45-0ubuntu1 (using .../bluez_4.45-0ubuntu2_i386.deb) ...
  invoke-rc.d: initscript bluetooth, action "stop" failed.
  dpkg: warning: old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
  dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
  invoke-rc.d: initscript bluetooth, action "stop" failed.
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/bluez_4.45-0ubuntu2_i386.deb (--unpack):

  Errors were encountered while processing:

  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

+ ---
+ It's been decided that this bug won't be fixed due to the large amount of breakage going on in the last 24 hours anyway with other packages.
+ The problem only happens when upgrading from 4.45-0ubuntu1 or 4.45-0ubuntu2 to 4.45-0ubuntu3 when bluetoothd is *not* already running.
+ 
+ If you are affected, there are two ways that it can be currently worked around:
+ 1) Start bluetoothd before doing the upgrade
+ 2) Add a || true to the pkill line in /etc/init.d/bluetooth
