This bug has reared it's head again in an upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy i386 desktop. I originally installed netkit-inetd through synaptic under Feisty and it was partly deleted (put into residual config in synaptic) during the upgrade. All attempts to completely remove the package are failing.
Synaptic shows: E: netkit-inetd: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1 sudo dpkg --purge netkit-inetd gives: Removing netkit-inetd ... Purging configuration files for netkit-inetd ... update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/inetd exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) dpkg: error processing netkit-inetd (--purge): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: netkit-inetd sudo apt-get --purge remove netkit-inetd gives: Reading package lists...
