Package: update-inetd Version: 4.30+nmu1 Severity: serious /usr/share/perl5/DebianNet.pm makes usage of Debconf but the package doesn't have a corresponding dependency.
Furthermore in --add mode, update-inetd might display something on stdout while this should be avoided since stdout might be used for debconf's communication. The line system("echo $modearg |itox"); should thus probably be changed to system("echo $modearg |itox >&2"); I'd also like to stress that #473290 is affecting several packages in the archive right now... most maintainers do not know that update-inetd might call debconf as the prompt appears in very are case. I just noticed sane-utils and its maintainer believes that #473290 should be fixed instead of working-around this in his package. The sane-utils simply blocks during his configuration stage when update-inetd tries to communicate with debconf. I would consider this release critical but I leave that up to you to upgrade it. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
