Errors Uninstalling Apps with Deployment Server Preventing Splunkd restarts

Question

When uninstalling an app, the following errors are preventing splunkd for restarting:

03-30-2010 22:28:12.157 WARN  DeployedApplication - Uninstalling application: sample_app
03-30-2010 22:28:12.157 WARN  DeployedApplication - Removing app at location: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/sample_app
03-30-2010 22:30:06.068 ERROR IniFile - Cannot open ini file for parsing: No such file or directory
03-30-2010 22:30:06.068 ERROR ConfObjectManagerDB - Cannot initialize: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/sample_app/metadata/default.meta

I copied the entire default app/* structure (except search) to my deployment-apps directory on the deployment server. This file exists on the forwarders prior to the uninstallation. After a manual restart, everything seems to work fine.

I realize I can just set stateOnClient = disabled, but there may be cases when we want to completely remove custom apps.

Any idea what could be causing this problem?

It is likely to be this issue, which has been resolved in 4.0.10:

Deploying apps that do not contain a local directory will no longer cause Splunk to crash on the client. (SPL-29019, SPL-30225)

Well I am using 4.0.10. It is true that my forwarders are not crashing, but the error is preventing the deployment process from restarting the deployment client
