Bug#484932: no IPv6 support in atftpd, but inetd setting is doing IPv6 thus failure

[Jeroen Massar]

Package: atftpd
Version: 0.7.dfsg-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable



#:BOOT: TFTP service is provided primarily for booting.  Most sites
#       run this only on machines acting as "boot servers."

--verbose=5  /var/lib/tftpboot

Which results in:



Because atftpd doesn't support IPv6.

Solution, use 'udp4' instead of 'udp' in inetd configuration, thus:

#:BOOT: TFTP service is provided primarily for booting.  Most sites
#       run this only on machines acting as "boot servers."

--verbose=5  /var/lib/tftpboot



belongs, makes things much easier and doesn't mess up /etc/inetd.conf
