Could you please share parts of your hd-idle configuration?
I couldn't reproduce the problem, so I suspect it might be related to
some incompatibility in the config options.

Thanks,

This was without actually changing /etc/defaukt/hd-idle from what was in the packages.

The /etc/init.d/hd-idle script on the 1.12+ds-1 package just tries to start hd-idle with not parameters.

Trying to see if I could purge the package and install from scratch

The installation hung on "Starting the hd-idle daemon:" and I had to kill the
hd-idle process for the installation to not stay hung.

The package should ship with working default configuration that can
successfully complete the installation process.
