[Bug 306693] [NEW] open-iscsi upgrade fails to stop iscsid

[Bryan McLellan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: open-iscsi

On an upgrade from open-iscsi=2.0.865-1ubuntu4 to open-
iscsi=2.0.870.1-0ubuntu1, the postrm script for 2.0.865-1ubuntu4 stops
iscsid via the initscript, which fails to to all iscsid processes. When
apt then tries to run the postinstall script, the init script for open-
iscsi fails to start due to the existing process.

Work around is to forcibly kill the iscsid processes before upgrade:

root at file01:/etc/init.d# apt-get install open-iscsi=2.0.870.1-0ubuntu1
