reassign 75458 netkit-inetd tags 75458 - unreproducible thanks This can't be a bug in dpkg's handling of conffiles because /etc/inetd.conf is not a conffile of netbase 3.18-4 .
This is a bug in the maintainer scripts of netbase version 3.18-4, which futz with /etc/inetd.conf. Both the preinst and the postinst are implicated. I have just looked at the maintainer scripts of netbase version 4.07 and there are no references in there to /etc/inetd.conf. However similar code has appeared in netkit-inetd. So I'm reassigning this report to that package. -- Thomas Hood
