Samba requires "update-inetd", but not Installed

Bug #75772 reported by Stu Hood on 2006-12-14

Bug Description

The removal process for the `samba` package requires update-inetd, so it failed the first time, and got stuck in a bad state. I had to manually install the update-inetd package with dpkg, and then I could reinstall samba before finally removing it successfully.

Sooo, samba needs `update-inetd` added as a dependency, or the package needs to be modified so as not to require it.

Alright... weird. Launchpad's search ought to have found that for me, because I searched for `update` bugs in samba, and none came up. It must not count update-inetd as two separate words.

Sorry Sebastien

No problem, launchpad match only on exact words at the moment, that's a known problem for it. For problem like that you might want to look at open an closed bugs with recent ones first, if there is already a bug opened it's usually on the top of the list
