Starting internet superserver: inetdinvoke-rc.d: initscript openbsd-inetd, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing openbsd-inetd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of netbase: netbase depends on openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver; however: Package openbsd-inetd is not configured yet. Package inet-superserver is not installed. Package openbsd-inetd which provides inet-superserver is not configured yet. <blah blah blah> I tried "sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd start", which gave no errors, but did not solve the problem. I then tried "sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd stop", and then re-ran my dist-upgrade command, and this time there were no errors and my dist-upgrade completed successfully. My guess is that the post-install script is failing to see that openbsd-inetd is already running, and therefore fails when it tries to start an already-running process. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages openbsd-inetd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-12 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.1-23 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii tcpd 7.6.dbs-12 Wietse Venema's TCP wrapper utilit ii update-inetd 4.27-0.3 inetd.conf updater openbsd-inetd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
