Bug Description
bitlbee can be started either from inetd (default) or as a stand-alone daemon (marked upstream as experimental).
It ships in feisty configured to start from inetd, yet - unlike the version shipped with edgy - it does not depend on netkit-inetd: compare http://
This means that after an apt-get dist-upgrade, followed by an apt-get autoremove bitlbee is broken and doesn't start.
changelog.Debian.gz says:
* debian/control: Replace netkit-inetd dependency with a versioned
dependency on netbase. netbase provides the appropriate inetd
dependency. Closes: #382682.
however, unlike Debian's netbase (http:// packages. debian. org/stable/ admin/netbase), Ubuntu's netbase does not depend on an inetd:
Depends: ifupdown (>= 0.6.4-4.9), iputils-ping | ping, lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, update-inetd
