Bug Description

Binary package hint: bitlbee

Hi,

bitlbee was midified to depend directly on update-inetd, however
it is not correct to depend directly on that package. Instead packages
should depend on having an inetd installed, as they will install the
update-inetd command that will work for them.

I will follow up with a debdiff shortly.

Thanks,

James

As promised, here is the diff.

It also switches from netkit-inetd to openbsd as the default
choice, as that is the usual default.

Thanks,

James

This bug was fixed in the package bitlbee - 1.0.4-1ubuntu2

---------------
bitlbee (1.0.4-1ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Drop dependency on update-inetd, as packages aren't supposed to
    depend directly on it. (LP: #192525)
  * Add alternative dependency on virtual package inet-superserver, to
    allow for the alternatives to satisfy the dependency.
  * Switch choice of inetd to openbsd-inetd as that is the usual default
    choice.
