Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: atftpd
atftpd 0.7.dfsg-6ubuntu1 has a false hard dependency on openbsd-inetd
(through the inet-superserver metapackage).
When atftpd is installed, it fails to reload (or restart) openbsd-inetd,
so the user doesn't get a consistent experience; most daemons
(correctly) start immediately after being installed.
Moreover, the vast majority of daemons start independently of an inet-
superserver, to decrease single points of failure, to increasing
security (as the openbsd-inet runs as root) and to increasing
performance.
We can improve on this situation by:
- moving the 'Depends: inet-superserver' to a 'Suggests: inet-superserver'
-> thus the user actually has the choice
- fix the (broken) default OPTIONS in /etc/default/atftpd to include '--daemon'
- tweak USE_INETD in /etc/default/atftpd to false
-> thus the service works immediately after installed - no ambiguity of
inetd/xinetd configuration/restarting
As a side-effect, this will increase security and increase performance
on busy tftp systems.
