Each instance of /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd takes about a minute or so before it segfaults.That's caused by start-stop-daemon, just wait until dpkg 1.10.22 is built for hurd-i386.
So it's a dpkg problem? As the risk of asking a stupid question, why then does everything else configure properly? I don't mean to be difficult; I just want to understand how everything works and fits together.
