problems with inetutils-inetd
As you may have gathered from previous messages to this list, I've
installed the Hurd a couple times to mess about with it, but have ended up
needing the space for other things. However, the fan on my girlfriend's
(very old) computer died, so when she bought a laptop, I took the drive
from the old computer--so I now have a drive to devote full-time to the
Hurd.
I note that there are two tarballs in
http://eu.hurd.gnuab.org/pub/debian/base/ (incidentally and unrelatedly,
the NA mirror times out for me), so I grabbed the newer one (9 May 2004),
untarred it in mounted /gnu with same owner and permissions, and rebooted
into it. Everything boots fine into single-user mode, but when I run
./native-install tzconfig just loops (and with Ctrl-C not working in
single-user, I just had to power off the box). I saw in the archives that
someone else had this problem, and that there was a related bug report
(which I also read), but I saw nothing there about a fix--if I've missed
it, I apologize, and please steer me towards it. So I went back to the
older (11 November 2003) tarball. This one boots fine as well and, more
importantly perhaps, ./native-install runs with no problems. Reboot, run
native-install again, reboot into multiuser mode. All is well.
That is to say, all is well until I attempt an apt-get update && apt-get
upgrade (I'd already added the Debian mirror and gnuab.org to the
sources.list, per http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install).
Everything installs fine except that I get this when attempting to upgrade
inetutils-inetd:

Each instance of /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd takes about a minute or so
before it segfaults.
Again, I apologize if this has been covered already, but can somebody
point me in the right direction?

Carson
