This is not actually a bug at all, it's just a warning from bash. If dovecot is installed and inetd is not, the check on /etc/inetd.conf will fail. There are two solutions:
1) Create an empty file called /etc/inetd.conf 2) Edit /etc/init.d/dovecot The patch attached fixes this by checking that /etc/inetd.conf exists before trying to access it. Note that dovecot works fine even with the error. ** Attachment added: "Patch to /etc/init.d/dovecot to check whether inetd.conf exists" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4959262/dovecot-inetd.patch -- /etc/inetd.conf is missed on a default dapper 6.06.1 server install https://launchpad.net/bugs/56057 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
