Cannot add provide 'authdaemond'!?

Could be you have more than one init script providing "authdaemond" or you have more than one symlink to the init script that provides authdaemond.

Do a "grep authdaemond /etc/init.d/*" to see if more than one script wants to provide this service. Then do either "ls /etc/runlevels/*" or "ls /etc/runlevels/* | grep $SERVICE" to see if there is more than one symlink to the init script providing authdaemond. Fill in $SERVICE with the name of the init script(s) that is providing authdaemond found in step 1.

courier-imap/authlib had left authdaemond in /etc/init.d.

I removed it manually. However there are still a load of courier-imap/authlib things on my system even after I unmerged it!

I had this problem also, because:

I had authdaemond AND courier-authlib both providing authdaemond. (inside my /etc/init.d/ scripts)

I also had both services in my default runlevel. Since I want courier-authlib, and it provides authdaemond, I don't need to start authdaemond by itself. So, I removed it: # rc-update del authdaemond default

This happened because I share sysadm with my bro, and I used etc-update without knowing the implications, (rtfm)

.

Hope this helps someone, I know it helped me.
