dpkg: error processing /tmp/qmail/qmail_1.03-45_i386.deb (--install):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
/tmp/qmail/qmail_1.03-45_i386.deb
Suggested fix: use update-inetd.
Preferably do all this in postinst rather than preinst, then just Depend
on update-inetd.
Failing that, Pre-Depend on inetd.
