Package: update-inetd
Version: 4.30+nmu1
Severity: serious
/usr/share/perl5/DebianNet.pm makes usage of Debconf but the package
doesn't have a corresponding dependency.
Furthermore in --add mode, update-inetd might display something on
stdout while this should be avoided since stdout might be used for
debconf's communication.
The line system("echo $modearg |itox"); should thus probably be changed to
system("echo $modearg |itox >&2");
I'd also like to stress that #473290 is affecting several packages in the
archive right now... most maintainers do not know that update-inetd might
call debconf as the prompt appears in very are case.
I just noticed sane-utils and its maintainer believes that #473290 should
be fixed instead of working-around this in his package. The sane-utils simply
blocks during his configuration stage when update-inetd tries to
communicate with debconf. I would consider this release critical but I
leave that up to you to upgrade it.
