Before:
$ dpkg -l | grep dancer
rc dancer-ircd 1.0.36-8ubuntu1 an IRC server designed for centrally maintained network
rc dancer-services 1.8.0.6.3-6 IRC services implementation for dancer-ircd

Just tried installing again.

After:
$ dpkg -l | grep dancer
iF dancer-ircd 1.0.36-8ubuntu1 an IRC server designed for centrally maintained network
ii dancer-services 1.8.0.6.3-6 IRC services implementation for dancer-ircd

On the bright side, dancer-services installed without problems.

During the install:

A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

Looks like it fails over some olines file? Touching the file and then reinstalling dancer-ircd did the trick.
