Package: approx
Version: 4.3-1
Severity: important
In summary, I can switch back and forth between inetutils-inetd and
openbsd-inetd, and approx works perfectly on ipv4 and ipv6 with
ONLY openbsd-inetd. approx will install on a system with either,
but it'll only work on an openbsd-inetd system.
My test below was just the usual webserver test of telneting to the
port (and if possible) hitting enter, but trust me, apt-get works
great with the openbsd-inetd and fails utterly with the inetutils-inetd
The symptoms seem to match Ubuntu bug 478899. No idea what the folks
in Ubuntu bug 478899 were using for an inetd.
I suppose you need a "conflicts" for inetutils-inetd?
Details below
(My only "non standard" config is running ipv6, but come on its 2010 now)
(also fails without the tcp6 line, perhaps the slightly different error)
(for ipv4 and ipv6 might help)
