Package: update-inetd
Version: 4.27-0.3
Severity: critical
The latest version of update-inetd (4.27-0.3) breaks the ability of
debootstrap to install postfix like so:
debootstrap --include=postfix etch destination
I have verified that this works correctly with 4.27-0.2.
Postfix dies in the package configure stage because of strange debconf
behaviour. What led me to discover the source of this bug is that
debconf somehow returned "Restarting internet superserver: inetd", which
is related to bug #399788 fixed in this latest version.
To see this, I chrooted into the broken debootstrap chroot, and changed
/var/lib/dpkg/info/postfix.postinst to execute with "-x". Here is some
relevant output:
dpkg --configure postfix
(...)
+ for file in smtp smtpd
+ '[' -r sasl-smtp.conf ']'
+ for file in smtp smtpd
+ '[' -r sasl-smtpd.conf ']'
+ cd /var/spool/postfix

+ '[' '!' -d private ']'
+ chown root:root private
+ chmod 700 private
+ chgrp postfix private
+ chown postfix private
++ id -gn postfix
+ '[' postfix '!=' postfix ']'
+ chown postfix:root private

+ printf '%s\n' 'FGET postfix/chattr changed'
+ IFS='

+ read -r _db_internal_line
+ RET='20 Unsupported command "restarting" (full line was "Restarting
internet superserver: inetd") received from confmodule.'
+ case ${_db_internal_line%%[ ]*} in
+ return 20
dpkg: error processing postfix (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 20
Errors were encountered while processing:
postfix
Again, I forced update-inetd version 4.27-0.2 and things were working
once again.
