--- Begin Message ---Package: openbsd-inetd Version: 0.20050402-5 Severity: normal There's some cruft in my system's /etc: 547 {0} [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# find -name "S20inetd" | xargs file ./rc2.d/S20inetd: broken symbolic link to `../init.d/inetd' ./rc3.d/S20inetd: broken symbolic link to `../init.d/inetd' ./rc4.d/S20inetd: broken symbolic link to `../init.d/inetd' ./rc5.d/S20inetd: broken symbolic link to `../init.d/inetd' I spoke with Steve Langasek about this on IRC. Replacing a package that has conffiles is usually painful (I learned this from X, particularly with the XKB data). Here's what openbsd-inetd should probably do: 1) Ensure all those symlinks are removed. 2) Since /etc/init.d/inetd is a "dying" conffile, and not being "moved" to openbsd-inetd, the really polite thing to do would be to grab MD5 sums of the stock versions of that file from, say, the last stable and unstable releases of netkit-inetd, and check any lingering inetd conffile to see if it matches either of those sums. If it does, remove it. If it doesn't, leave it, as the administrator likely customized it (and might want to "port" his or her customizations over to openbsd-inetd's init script).. You could do the above in preinst or postinst, whichever is convenient. The postinst is probably less trouble, because that way you wouldn't have to roll back what you did on a failed installation[1]. [1] Most maintainer scripts I've seen don't actually bother to carefully roll back what was done in the "install" and "upgrade" targets of the preinst in the "abort-install" and "abort-upgrade" targets of the postrm. But that's what dpkg supports and the Policy Manual expects. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-powerpc-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages openbsd-inetd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii tcpd 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrapper utilit ii update-inetd 4.27-0.5 inetd.conf updater openbsd-inetd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information

(Closes: #435658) * Document in inetd(8) that datagram services must read some network input or inetd will continue spawning them. Many thanks to James Cameron for the analysis. (Closes: #436803) * Use a real characters class instead of character ranges with grep in the init script, because some locales have weird ranges. Spotted by Meelis Roos.
