Hello Wesley,

There is an error when attempting to purge bidentd:
  Removing bidentd ...
  Purging configuration files for bidentd ...

/var/lib/dpkg/info/bidentd.postrm: line 15: update-inetd: command not found

  dpkg: error processing bidentd (--purge):
   subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127

The postrm script cannot rely on update-inetd to be available when purging.

See Policy 7.2:

Note, however, that the `postrm' cannot rely on any non-essential packages to

  be present during the `purge' phase.

Thanks for this.
I'll look into a fix tonight.
