Package: netstd
Version: 1.19-1

While upgrading from netstd 1.71-1 to 1.19-1, I saw:

Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/netstd_misc ...
There is already an entry for #systat in /etc/inetd.conf,
but I don't recognise it.  Here is what it looks like:
 #systat        stream  tcp     nowait  nobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd  /bin/ps -auwwx
Do you want to ignore this potential problem and continue, or would
you rather not do so now ?  Continue?  (n/y) y
dpkg: error processing netstd (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 netstd
-root@chiark:~/download> dpkg --configure netstd
Setting up netstd ...
There is already an entry for telnet in /etc/inetd.conf,
but I don't recognise it.  Here is what it looks like:
 telnet stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
Do you want to ignore this potential problem and continue, or would
you rather not do so now ?  Continue?  (n/y) y
dpkg: error processing netstd (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 netstd
-root@chiark:~/download>

At this point I took a copy of my inetd.conf (enclosed below), edited
out the entry for systat, and tried again:

-root@chiark:~/download> dpkg --configure netstd
Setting up netstd ...
There is already an entry for telnet in /etc/inetd.conf,
but I don't recognise it.  Here is what it looks like:
 telnet stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.telnetd

dpkg: error processing netstd (--configure):

 netstd
-root@chiark:~/download>

Grrr.  I edited that out too, tried again, and it replaced it with an
identical-looking entry.  Then I got a prompt about
  shell  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.rshd

I give up.

Unfortunately I can't revert to 1.18 because of the security problem
with fingerd.

Ian.
