Bug Description
Binary package hint: bayonne
bayonne 1.2.16 can't be uninstalled when no instance is running and default shell is dash.
When no instance is running the bayonne script exists with a value of -1 which is illegal for dash.

:: Workaround ::
Set default shell to bash which accepts -1 as a value to exit.

The error is in the bayonne control script in version 1.2.16 of Gutsy. This occurs when the control script want to stop the server and no instance is running. It the tries to exit with a value of -1 which is illegal for the default shell dash
I'm confirming but it's probably a won't fix.
A quick and dirty workaround is to change the default shell to bash or edit the bayonne script and change the first line to bash.
