I've just tried this on a Debian Etch system and have not had any problem, even with xinetd installed.
For reference I performed the following actions: apt-get install xinetd apt-get install openbsd-inetd (upgrade -3 to -5) apt-get install inetutils-inetd (replacing openbsd-inetd) apt-get install openbsd-inetd (replacing openbsd-inetd) the last of these had the following messages: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/scm/debian/build $ sudo apt-get install openbsd-inetd Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED inetutils-inetd The following NEW packages will be installed openbsd-inetd 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 665 not upgraded.
