The problem is caused by update-inetd which tries to use debconf to
display the following question:
   There are multiple entries in /etc/inetd.conf for the 'pop3' service.

   Please confirm that you agree to disable these entries.

   Disable inetd entries?

And this fails since solid-pop3d postinst has already called db_stop to
stop debconf interactions. I'm reassigning the bug to update-inetd,
which should re-enable debconf by using some hacking like that one in
ucf package. (Or maybe debconf should re-enable itself when confmodule
is re-loaded after stop was called?)

Regards,
robert
