[expert] No xinetd for wu-ftpd update in Mandrake 7.1

The wu-ftpd-2.6.1-8.4mdk update for Mandrake 7.1 requires xinetd, but I could not find a simple xinetd RPM for 7.1. All I could find were Mandrake 7.2 xinetd RPMs. Any hints on where to find an xinetd for 7.1? Or a wu-ftpd update that does not require xinetd? Thanks. __
