Maybe some more hints on what's happening... It looks like when pidentd is purged, the inetd.conf file results in containing :
# grep ident /etc/inetd.conf #<off># ident stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/identd identd -i Then later, it looks like postinst does : update-inetd --group INFO --add "ident stream tcp nowait identd /usr/sbin/midentd midentd" I suppose that it won't work the way it would be expected to... And that may be no surprise since there are lots of bug reports on update-inetd in netbase. Maybe the maintainer already encountered this problem : Cf. #33797 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=33797) Hope this helps.
