Package: xfingerd
Version: 0.6-4
Severity: serious
Justification: missing dependency

When testing xfingerd with piuparts, I get the following error:

  Unpacking xfingerd (from .../xfingerd_0.6-4_i386.deb) ...
  Setting up xfingerd (0.6-4) ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/xfingerd.postinst: line 8: /etc/init.d/inetd: No
such file
or directory
  dpkg: error processing xfingerd (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127

xfingerd does not depend on inetd, but calls its init.d script directly.
This is wrong because a) it is missing a dependency on inetd, b) you
shouldn't be calling the init.d script directly anyway (see policy
9.3.3.2), and c) what happens if xinetd or some other inetd
implementation is installed instead of inetd?

Programming should be fun, otherwise you're doing something wrong.
