Comment 7 for bug 3172

The packagers of pure-ftpd wanted to serve inetd by default over standalone, you can find that back in the package change log.

(as from >=1.0.13a-3)

pure-ftpd (1.0.13a-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * moved /etc/ftpusers into the server packages to avoid clashes with
    other FTP daemons
  * ensure that we default to inetd mode in init script
  * added LDAPAuthentication directive to pure-ftpd-wrappnster

Thats okey but the inetd super server is not installed by default of ubuntu linux Breezy Badger (not for me). So the daemon now depends on the inetd package to be pressent when pure-ftpd gets installed. If this is not the case ubuntu will automaticly install it.

My Changelog entry is

pure-ftpd (1.0.19-7ubuntu1) unstable; urgency=low

  * pure-ftpd depends on inetd now. inetd isnt
    installed by default on ubunut linux but it will be now (Closes: ##3172)
