Package: netkit-inetd
Version: 0.10-10.2
When I used apt-get upgrade (using "testing"), netkit-inetd would not
configure. I got the following message:
dpkg error processing netkit-inetd (--configure)
subprocess post-installation demon returned err exit status 1
Well, I checked on the Internet and someone else reported the same
bug to Debian: Bug 282427 of Nov. 2004. I also tried using the dpkg
command as reported in this bug report and got the same result.
The command is: dpkg -D2000 --configure netkit-inetd
So I put echo statements in the post-installation script. The db_get
function in this script doesn't seem to return from its call as an
"echo here" before it prints "here" but an "echo here" after it
doesn't print anything. The call is:
db_get netkit-inetd/inetd-dos-services; echo "here" ...
(I added the 'echo "here"' which doesn't get printed.)
db_get() is defined as { _db_cmd "GET $@";} in
/usr/share/debconf/confmodule but I quit my investigation at that
point since there is the _db_cmd function to track down, etc.
I downloaded version 0.10-10.3 from "unstable" but same problem.
Several other packages depend on this one and thus don't get
configured. I don't know how much lack of functionality my system has
as a result. Perhaps the old configuration still works on the new
software versions ??
