Hi NoOp:
you are right, the issue looks because of a buggy code in the current
release of dibbler-client, solution is to change:
/etc/init.d/dibbler-client line 48 from:
48 ($DAEMON stop 2>&1 > /dev/null ; true)
to:
48 ($DAEMON stop 2>&1 > /dev/null || true)
and after that it goes smooth.
thank you very much Preston and NoOp for your help!

What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version

The default action is to keep your current version.
