package tspc None failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

Binary package hint: tspc

i used synaptic to uninstall radvd and tspc.

radvd was uninstalled successfully.

tspc uninstallation failed.

i had manually stopped tspc already with the "sudo /etc/init.d/tspc stop" command.

the 2nd try at uninstalling tspc succeeded.

Ooops, probably because it's late. The supposedly duplicate was about the installation of the package and this one about the removal. Sorry.

The cause of the failure is:
====
Removing radvd ...
Stopping radvd: No /usr/sbin/radvd found running; none killed.
radvd.
Removing tspc ...
Shutting down IPv6 tunnel: invoke-rc.d: initscript tspc, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: error processing tspc (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
