There are some reasonable tradeoffs between using inet and running standalone, and it's possible to run tftpd-hpa in either mode. Which one is better depends on the use case, so we should preserve the ability to choose. However, I also usually use standalone (i.e. not inet), and I agree that the whole thing, including the defaults, should be rethought and streamlined.
>>attempts to purge it would remove tftpd-hpa The problem here isn't the package or the dependencies (which are correctly stated); it's the package manager. Apt-get and the graphical managers often don't "Do the Right Thing" (tm). Instead, use aptitude for package management. It almost always gets the answers right, and when there are alternative solutions, it presents choices for the system admin. If you need very fine-grained control, aptitude's full-screen mode is unbelievably powerful, and allows you to play minesweeper on just about any computer in the world. :-) Happy Trails, Loye Young Isaac & Young Computer Company Laredo, Texas http://www.iycc.net -- tftpd-hpa does not use /etc/default/tftp-hpa options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/227881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
