Hi Tomas > So please Kent, Ben, Leonardo, Norman, Mind Booster, Daniel, Uwe, Mike an > Luke - could you tell us from which openbsd-inetd (or xinetd or > netkit-inetd) you were upgrading from?
I also was upgrading from openbsd-inetd version 0.20050402-4. But downgrading and upgrading again does not reproduce the problem. I had upgraded a lot of packages as I got the error. For me it's the combination of openbsd-inetd and sendfile which reproduces the error. The openbsd-inetd package stops and starts the inetd correctly. But the problem seems to be that the upgrade of sendfile starts the inetd process if it is not running. openbsd-inetd and sendfile upgrade: # dpkg -i openbsd-inetd_0.20050402-4_i386.deb # dpkg -i sendfile_2.1b-3_i386.deb # ps ax|grep inetd 15879 ?
