Can you try installing the openbsd-inetd package (and if there is no /etc/inetd.conf, or no entry for approx in that file, please purge and reinstall the approx package)? Please let me know if that solves the problem for you. I think the problem is that this version no longer depends on inet-superserver; there was a patch to include systemd support that was supposed to make it unnecessary, but evidently that doesn't work correctly. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u
