It looks like the bug is due to this line (created by the postinst script).
If you change these lines to:
9999 stream tcp4 nowait approx /usr/sbin/approx /usr/sbin/approx
9999 stream tcp6 nowait approx /usr/sbin/approx /usr/sbin/approx
it should work OK.
The inetd.conf file requires an additional argv[0] after the
approx pathname. I guess openbsd-inetd is more forgiving and does
execve("/usr/sbin/approx", ["/usr/sbin/approx"], env)
but inetutils-inetd just does
execve("/usr/sbin/approx", [], env)
resulting in an empty argv[], which the approx program assumed "could
never happen".
