  • Bug#266654: inetutils-inetd: update-inetd won't reload /etc/inetd.conf

    From Kenshi Muto@1:229/2 to All on Wed Aug 18 18:00:16 2004

    Package: inetutils-inetd
    Severity: serious
    Version: 1.4.2+20040207-3

    Hi,

    I found that if I installed inetutils-inetd, it wouldn't reload
    /etc/inetd.conf by update-inetd.

    Scenario:
    1. install Sarge.
    2. aptitude installs important and standard priority packages silently,
    but (by some aptitude bug? I reported as #264716 additional
    information) inetutils-inetd goes to install instead of
    netkit-inetd.
    3. After then, I install some packages using inetd, such as skksearch.
    It is installed correctly, but it couldn't work because inetd isn't
    restarted. (FYI netkit-inetd reloads correctly.)

    My opinion:
    - 2. is aptitude's bug, but 3. is inetutils-inetd's problem (or
    inetutils-inetd mismatches with netbase).
    - If inetutils-inetd haven't full compatibility with netkit-inetd,
    could you remove Provides: netkit-inetd? By changing this, maybe
    aptitude won't confuse.

    I think this problem and #240576, #207752 are similar.

    Thanks,

    This problem was precisely fixed in -3 upload, currently in sid. (I assume
    you found the problem using sarge but reported it on a sid system)

    Scenario:
    1. install Sarge.
    2. aptitude installs important and standard priority packages silently,
    but (by some aptitude bug? I reported as #264716 additional
    information) inetutils-inetd goes to install instead of
    netkit-inetd.

    #264716 looks like something entirely different. However, the bug is not
    in aptitude but in inetutils -2 indeed.

    3. After then, I install some packages using inetd, such as skksearch.
    It is installed correctly, but it couldn't work because inetd isn't
    restarted. (FYI netkit-inetd reloads correctly.)

    This one sounds like a genuine bug.. we'll have a look, thanks!

    My opinion:
    - If inetutils-inetd haven't full compatibility with netkit-inetd,
    could you remove Provides: netkit-inetd? By changing this, maybe
    aptitude won't confuse.

    This is not the cause of aptitude's confusion. However, we intend to be
    fully compatible with netkit-inetd, so the provides shouldn't be removed.

    I think this problem and #240576, #207752 are similar.

    Uhm.. yes. Maybe the bug should be merged.
