  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Hello,
dpkg --audit gives me the following message:

The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retrieved using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
telnetd basic telnet server

Trying dpkg --configure telnetd
gives the error message
Setting up telnetd (0.17-41) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/telnetd.postinst: 8: /var/lib/dpkg/info/telnetd.postinst: update-inetd: not found
dpkg: error processing package telnetd (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
telnetd

Since I really only want to uninstall telnetd, I tried the following
apt-get --force-yes remove telnetd
that ends with

The following packages will be REMOVED:
telnetd

How can I uninstall the application?
