Torrus-common fails to upgrade, remove, or purge

[ZombieBear]

I've been trying to fix this issue for two days, but no matter how much I look, I've found nothing that's helped so far.
I cannot copy the error for some reason (I wanted to copy a log from gdebi trying to replace the package) since it won't let me paste the output anywhere.
If anyone could assist me in either this, or somehow managing to lock the package (I don't use it, so I'm fine without upgrading it) I'd really appreciate it.

If you open up Konsole and do "sudo apt-get install torrus-common" (or another action), what does it say?

The error message goes as follows:

I wish I could format that text to look a bit better, but I don't know how to.

Well, there you go. There's an error in the daemon script.

Could you post the chunk of the script containing line 172?
(I'd also let the maintainer of the package know about this, e.g. by filing a bug report.)
