Package: fingerd
Version: 0.17-17
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

if I install fingerd on a pristine system, I get this output when installing:

...
Setting up fingerd (0.17-17) ...
grep: /etc/inetd.conf: No such file or directory
update-inetd: warning: cannot add service, /etc/inetd.conf does not exist
Processing triggers for man-db (2.13.1-1) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.41-12) ...
...

fingerd uses inetd.conf to register as a service. inetd.conf is provided by
inetutils-inetd.
As a result, if I don't have that package installed first, fingerd is not
registered and will not start

If I install inetutils-inetd manually before installing fingerd, everything
works just fine.

inetutils-inetd should be installed as a dependency of fingerd.
