Package: xinetd Version: 1:2.3.0-1 Severity: critical I was upgrading to 1:2.3.0-1 and all of a sudden it told me that it was converting inetd.conf to xinetd.conf format, and that if I didn't want it to in future, to use dpkg-reconfigure to tell it not to.
Unfortunately this was too late to stop it converting a broken inetd.conf into xinetd.conf format, losing all my carefully crafted secure xinetd.conf contents since it didn't make a backup :( This is /real bad/ (tm) -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux salmon 2.4.4 #1 Fri May 11 16:27:14 BST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB Versions of packages xinetd depends on: ii dpkg 1.9.17 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.2.4-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libwrap0 7.6-8.2 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii netbase 4.06 Basic TCP/IP networking system
