Well, it does. After installing this version it works correctly. Thanks. > Please recheck. Maybe d-i install process needs to be tweaked to > prevent it from dpkg-i'ing the original update-inetd. No, d-i does not install individual packages like this by name, and the packaging tools should not normally reinstall a package that is already installed. Not sure why your previous version did not work, but I doubt it makes very much sense to investigate that. Hmm. I seem to remember that I _have_ seen something like this before (not completely sure though): I had a privately built package installed before a new version from the buildds hit the mirrors and that new official version was also installed even though the version numbers were the same; I remember being surprised at that. Maybe aptitude (or apt/dpkg?) has something like: "if versions are the same, but md5sum is different from already installed package, install new package"? Anyway, in general I think it is good practice to always update the version when making a new version of a package available for testing. I think I'd probably have chosen 2.28~rs1 because AIUI the ~ facility was invented specifically for such situations. Cheers, FJP
