Package: gwhois Version: 20050115 Hi,
I have setup gwhois as a daemon service with a line in /etc/inetd.conf like this: whois stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/gwhois Note the tcpd. Now when I tried to upgrade to the version mentionend, I get this dialog: Trying to add the following entry: whois stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/gwhois gwhois There is already an entry for whois in /etc/inetd.conf, but I don't recognise it. Here is what it looks like: whois stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/gwhois Do you want to ignore this potential problem and continue, or would you rather not do so now ? Continue? (n/y) If I choose n, it leave the file as it is, but fails with an error, making e.g. apt-get bringing up this question over and over (and other annoyance) If I choose y, it overwrites the line and is happy, but I am not, as this interferes with the site security. IMHO there should be an option "leave the strange line as it is and do not exit with an error", or make the postinstall recognize tcpd. TIA, Joerg
