Bug#1734: netstd 1.19-1 won't install
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:

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

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.
