reassign 544927 update-inetd 4.32 kthxbye Hi Stefan,
please always also reply to either both, the submitter _and_ the bugreport or to <bugid>[email protected] -- The submitter doesn't get messages which are sent to the bugreport by default. In this case I only saw your question on the web at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544927.

But: Even if I do "mount -o remount,exec,dev,suid /tmp" manually and then install the package again, the same thing happens: 3/1/0 r...@nemo:pts/3 00:35:26 [~] # mount -o remount,exec,dev,suid /tmp 4/0/0 r...@nemo:pts/3 00:35:44 [~] # mount | fgrep /tmp tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw) 5/0/0 r...@nemo:pts/3 00:35:48 [~] # dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/oidentd_2.0.8-3_i386.deb (Reading database ... 117510 files and directories currently installed.)

But anyway, I found the culprit and it is not oidentd, but the recently updated update-inetd (4.32). To be more exact, it's the patch to http://bugs.debian.org/63504 which also introduced the error message "Error installing ..." we see above. So I reassign this bug to update-inetd. Sorry for bothering you, but I was a little bit short on time when I discovered this issue and had no time for deeper debugging... It has been reported against sane-utils already this morning in http://bugs.debian.org/544841 and reassigned to update-inetd, too. Serafeim: Feel free to merge this bug with the one above.
