Sorry but I think you didn't understand what I tryed to explain. The problem is not to not have a inetd installed. The problem is that there are many inetd out there. One is the xinetd which is replacing a "traditional" inetd completely. But today the traditional inetd has to be installed too. Xinetd do disable such a inetd in postinstall script. However. What I did explain is that xinetd do not need to have a update-inetd as the configuration is done with single files for single packages. But for legacy the inetd.conf have to be updated too in any postinstall of any package which might run under inetd so there is the point that you NEED this update-inetd in postinstall independent if you ever need it for the package or if you just suggest inetd as the software CAN run under it. So the dependencies are hysterical^Whistorical grown but not "good". Solution would be to depend on update-inetd if software are able tu run under it but can be used in other way too and to depend on inet-superserver only and absolutely only under the condition that there is no other way to use the software than to use it with inetd. (By the way, xinetd should normally provide inet-superserver too. But this is another point.) To the problem with second inetd installed on a system with xinetd: I have the following packages installed: - - xinetd -- which fully replaces any other inetd so no need to install an other one. - - update-inetd -- To let all packages which can be run under inetd (And in fact run under xinetd fine) be happy in there postinstall script and still update the not used /etc/inetd.conf - - netkit-inetd-dummy[*1] -- To get rid of the stupid dependencies for inet-superserver or even bad for netkit-inetd.
