This seems to be caused by rlinetd's alternative version of
update-inetd, since neither approx nor the standalone update-inetd use
ucf. From a cursory examination, it looks like the problem is due to
the fact that rlinetd's version of update-inetd doesn't handle a
regexp as an argument to "--remove", which the real update-inetd does.
Reassigning to rlinetd.
For the rlinetd maintainer: my postinst script is doing this:
# first remove any "vanilla" entry from /etc/inetd.conf
update-inetd --remove '^(\d|\w)+\s.*\bapprox\b'
# add entry to /etc/inetd.conf
db_get approx/port
port="$RET"
update-inetd --add "$port\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait\tapprox\t/usr/sbin/approx
/usr/sbin/approx"
If there is an easy workaround to make it work with rlinetd, please
let me know.
