I'd like to confirm this bug. It has appeared in 1.3.1-6+b1. The errors I
receive
are the same as the original poster's. My straces lead me to believe that the
problem lies with update-inetd/itox and debconf:
in /usr/sbin/update-inetd:
if (-f "/usr/sbin/itox") {
print "Suggested entry (automatically converted using
itox):\n\n";
system("echo $modearg |itox");
}
and here is an excerpt from
strace -o proftpd-postinst-bug -s 1600 -f /usr/share/debconf/frontend
/var/lib/dpkg/info/proftpd.postinst configure 1.3.1-4
28371 write(7, "20 Unsupported command \"suggested\" (full line was \"Suggested
entry (automatically converted using itox):\") received from confmodule.\n",
133 <unfinished ...>
28371 write(7, "20 Unsupported command \"\" (full line was \"\") received from
confmodule.\n", 71 <unfinished ...>
If you need more info there is no problem for me to attach it.
This one also looks weird to me:
ham:~# echo -e "ftp\tstream\ttcp\tnowait\troot\t/usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/proftpd" | itox > /tmp/xinetd.conf
You must use option -daemon_dir if you use tcpd
ham:~# echo $?
1
ham:~# ls -al /tmp/xinetd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-05-03 16:24 /tmp/xinetd.conf
The resulting xinetd.conf is empty.
Hope this helps.
