multipathd can't be updated

[sles]

During package update on running 12.04 server I got:

Preparing to replace multipath-tools 0.4.9-3ubuntu5.1 (using .../multipath-tools_0.4.9-3ubuntu5.3_amd64.deb) ...
 * Stopping multipath daemon multipathd Oct 28 08:06:13 | mpath1: map in use
invoke-rc.d: initscript multipath-tools, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/multipath-tools_0.4.9-3ubuntu5.3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
 * Starting multipath daemon multipathd [ OK ]
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/multipath-tools_0.4.9-3ubuntu5.3_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This is definitely wrong to stop multipathd on running system....
And update can't be installed.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. In an effort to keep an
up-to-date and valid list of bugs to work on, I have reviewed this report
to verify it still requires effort and occurs on an Ubuntu release in
standard support, and it does not.

It is unfortunate that we were unable to resolve this defect, however
there appears to be no further action possible at this time. I am
therefore moving the bug to 'Incomplete'. If you disagree or have
new information, we would be grateful if you could please add a comment
stating why and then change the status of the bug to 'New'.
