Anything I try to do ends with

        E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) on account of

/var/lib/dpkg/info/telnetd.postinst: 8: /var/lib/dpkg/info/telnetd.postinst: 
update-inetd: not found

or other failure messages related to broken telnet*.

e.g.
apt purge telnet*
apt purge telnetd
apt install --fix-broken
aptitude full-upgrade
apt install -f
apt autoremove
dpkg-reconfigure telnetd

var/lib/dpkg/info/# ll telnet* update*

What does it take to make telnet* go away? Current pae kernel is broken,
so I need to get linux-image-686 installed.
