Package: oidentd Version: 1.7.1-2 The postinst try to call 'update-inetd --disable ident', which isn't installed on all systems.
A workaround is to install inetd temporary, or edit /var/lib/dpkg/oidentd.postinst manualy(see below). Here is a transcript(after 'apt-get dist-upgrade' on a potato system): --snip-- Setting up oidentd (1.7.1-2) ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/oidentd.postinst: update-inetd: command not found dpkg: error processing oidentd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 --snap-- I suggest to replace the line update-inetd --group INFO --add 'ident stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/oidentd oidentd -i' with [ -x /usr/sbin/update-inetd ] && update-inetd --group INFO --add 'ident stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/oidentd oidentd -i' in the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/oidentd.postinst. regards, Lutz Langenbach(komu)
