To whom it may concern,
First of all, thanks for maintaining xinetd.
It seems to me that the 3.11-1.2 version of Debian's netbase package puts
portmap in /sbin/portmap, however, /etc/init.d/xinetd in the 2.2.1-8 version of
xinetd doesn't look for it there.
/etc/init.d/xinetd looks for it at /usr/sbin/rpc.portmap and /usr/sbin/portmap.
When /etc/init.d/xinetd can't find portmap, it fails and its services are
unavailable. In my case, my first clue was fetchmail refused a connection to
localhost for smtp when I tried to download email from my internet service
provider.
I worked around the problem with
$ mv /sbin/portmap /usr/sbin/portmap
$ ln -s /usr/sbin/portmap /sbin/portmap
I hope the second command will allow the package manager (Debian's "dpkg") to
remove portmap, if necessary.
Thanks,
Kingsley

Hi people,
All these problems you reported against Debian xinetd package
are fixed now. Please upgrade, if you can.
In case you wondered, the bugs haven't been closed until now because the
package maintainer wasn't around, and the package is in fact orphaned. I am
doing this as a member of the quality assurance group.
Thanks for reporting...
