Should not depend on update-inetd

[James Westby]

Binary package hint: bidentd

Hi,

In bug #75981 it was reported that installation fails if update-inetd
is unavailable. A dependency was added, but according
to

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/07/msg01013.html

this is not the correct solution.

In this case the dependency can be dropped as it also depends
on an inetd being installed.

debdiff follows shortly.

Thanks,

James

As promised, here is the debdiff.

Thanks,

This bug was fixed in the package bidentd - 1.1.1-1ubuntu2

---------------
bidentd (1.1.1-1ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Drop update-inetd from Depends, as
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/07/msg01013.html
    says that it is incorrect to depend directly on it. The
    correct solution in this case is just to keep the dependency
    on "openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver", as that will either pull
    in update-inetd, or provide the command themselves. This change
    is forwarded as debian bug #466105, so if the next upload fixes
    that then it can probably be synced. (LP: #192437)
