Package: mpd
Version: 0.13.2-1
I have my music on an external drive, which isn't always connected. This
causes mpd to fail on startup ('/etc/init.d/mpd start' gives an error). So
far, so good, that behaviour is not surprising to me.
However, while upgrading, mpd tries to start, too, which fails and
subsequently the whole installation fails. There are two things here I
consider wrong:
1. It shouldn't start. Before the upgrade it wasn't running so it shouldn't
suddenly run afterwards. Of course, that's a point that can be argued and I
don't actually care that much.
2. Installation shouldn't fail when starting fails. Failure to (re-)start
should give a warning, but it should absolutely not cause the whole
installation to fail.
cheers

This is definitely wrong; I thought I fixed it several releases back, and
it WFM at the time, but it doesn't look right to me now. Should be easy to
fix properly when I have a chance to do more testing.

when mpd is not enabled, it will not try to start on upgrade (upgrade
triggers the normal startup script, which will heed the setting in
/etc/default/mpd
this was fixed long a ago, but this bug was apparently forgotten, so
closing it now
