I have a postinst that does the following:

        # get settings from debconf
        . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
        db_get pure-ftpd/standalone-or-inetd
        SOI="$RET"
        db_get pure-ftpd/ftpwho-setuid
        SUID="$RET"
        db_stop

later, it calls update-inetd, which may prompt the user under some
circumstances. The problem is that even though I've called db_stop to
close communication with debconf, standard input seems to not be
restored. This causes update-inetd (or even a sh "read") to hang.

Am I doing something wrong? What's the right way to get input from stdin
after using debconf?
