When addressing this bug it may be worth considering adding a "Recommends: inetutils-inetd|xinetd" (can't trust that syntax) to samba too as it puts the following line into /etc/inetd.conf when no inetd is installed:
#<off># netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/smbd Please note also the file in duplicate bug #50642 which may be worth including in the package for those who elect to use xinetd instead of inetutils-inetd. -- When installing SWAT no connection to localhost:901 possible https://launchpad.net/bugs/38977 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
