Title:
  package lirc 0.9.0-0ubuntu3 failed to fully install, stop, uninstall
  or anything else

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've been having lots of trouble with lirc since upgrading to 13.04.
  When the system boots, lirc seems to freeze and also blocks other
  daemons like LCDd and a few other from running.  When I try to remove
  lirc it freezes the process.  I found that trying to stop the lirc
  service also causes a freeze.  I found a workaround where I could
  remove the stop command from the /var/lib/dpkg/info/lirc.prerm; purge
  lirc; reboot; reinstall lirc and everything worked fine unless I tried
  to stop lirc by any means, including reboot.  If I tried to reboot, it
  would freeze.  However, I'm not unable to use this workaround as I can
  no longer get lirc to install properly at all.  When it starts the
  service just after popping up the config screen on install, it
  freezes.  I've had do kill dpkg which has caused some other issues
  that I should be able to fix.  But no matter how many times I try to
  purge lirc, reboot and reinstall, I can't get it to install anymore.
  I use this PC as an HTPC and need lirc support or I'm going to need to
  learn a new distro, which I don't look forward to.  Please help!
