Confirming and setting to medium - there is no obvious workaround for
the missing update script,and users will have a wedged system that keeps
trying to configure amanda-server until they install the magic missing
package.
heres what the failure looks like for google:
=====
Setting up amanda-server (2.5.1p1-2) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/amanda-server.postinst: 3: update-inetd: not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/amanda-server.postinst: 4: update-inetd: not found
dpkg: error processing amanda-server (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127

- Subject: amanda-server: Missing dependency on e.g. netkit-inetd
- Package: amanda-server
- Version: 1:2.4.5-1
- Severity: normal
-
The amanda-server needs some inetd-server to offer its services to the
net (and in fact to the localhost, too). In most setups, netkit-inetd
should be already installed. However, it doesn't need to be.
As I recognized, installing the amanda packages will modify inetd.conf
accordingly. But without an installed inetd this will not work.
So I would recommend to add some dependency (probably depends) on an
inetd-server for the amanda-server package.
