Bug Description
This problem happens with the vmware-server package from the commercial repository on feisty (Kubuntu 7.04).
When installing the vmware-server package it will remove xinetd and replace it with netkit-inetd. I am no security specialist but I think xinetd should be used and not netkit-inetd. At least xinetd should not be removed because other services might still use it.

i habe installed vmware-server today and it removed xinetd, too. so there is a bad dependency i think.
