[Bug 549385] Re: Approx package install fails w/ "Line 1: socket type missing "

 

Hi cmcginty, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report, and I'm
sorry that you didn't receive a timely reply.

On 10.04, the closest version to the one you were reporting this on,
this message is printed instead now:

Setting up approx (4.1-1build1) ...
Note: xinetd currently is not fully supported by update-inetd.
      Please consult /usr/share/doc/xinetd/README.Debian and itox(8).

I believe this was actually an issue in update-inetd, not approx.

Since this as only an issue in prior versions (looks like Ubuntu 9.10),
which are all EOL now, I am closing this as Invalid.

** Changed in: approx (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

-- 
You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian
OCaml Maintainers, which is subscribed to approx in ubuntu.

  --------- IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR XINETD USERS ----------
  The following line will be added to your /etc/inetd.conf file:

  9999\t\tstream\ttcp\tnowait\tapprox\t/usr/sbin/approx

  If you are indeed using xinetd, you will have to convert the
  above into /etc/xinetd.conf format, and add it manually. See
  /usr/share/doc/xinetd/README.Debian for more information.
  Suggested entry (automatically converted using itox):

  service 9999ttstreamttcptnowaittapproxt
  {
  	type            = RPC
  	rpc_version     = usr/sbin/approx
  Line 1: socket type missing
