That is a know difference in bash2, the alternate solution would just be
to provide the semicolon at the end of the last statement before the }. I
believe this is a POSIXism

Known bug with the latest libc5 package, I believe it is a problem with
locales. If you don't need them, don't worry about it, it should clear
itself up with future upgrades.

There was a postinst bug in one package that caused it to eat your
inetd.conf file, grepping for all of the update-inetd commands in the
various postinst scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info and running them should
rebuild your inetd.conf.
