I tied
     /etc/init.d/inetd restart
manually and it fails (read: stops working and requires ^C :-()

Anyway a
     /etc/init.d/inetd stop
     /etc/init.d/inetd start
     
works and I could start

     /etc/init.d/nfs-server.dpkg-new start

successfully.  Yes, I started the dpkg-new one which seemed me
to be better.  As I said, I couldn't configure the net related
packages, but they seem to work if inetd is stoped first and than
started.

Any idea what went wrong?

Kind regards
