Package: uucp Version: 1.07-25 Severity: important The lastest apt upgrade failed to complete because uucp's postinst died due to the lack of update-inetd.
But update-inetd is not installed (and is useless anyway) when xinetd is. Postinst should try to run update-inetd only after confirming that it exists. I expect many uucp users, like me, only use it over secsh and do not want any inetd involvement at all. update-inetd should be a suggested, not required. And only ever run iff test -e succeeds. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages uucp depends on: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20180807cvs-1 ii cron [cron-daemon] 3.0pl1-130 ii cu 1.07-25 ii libc6 2.28-4 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-4 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-4 ii netbase 5.5 ii xinetd [inet-superserver] 1:2.3.15.3-1 Versions of packages uucp recommends: ii logrotate 3.14.0-4 ii postfix 3.3.2-1 uucp suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/uucp/expire changed [not included] /etc/uucp/port changed [not included] -- no debconf information
