Installing from new Debian install - inetd error

[evolutionms]

I've installed from a fresh install of Debian 3 different times tonight only to run into the same problem every time. The error is shown below.

This happens even if I uninstall the openbsd-inetd package before install. This leaves me with 2 questions:

First, why is this happening, and

Second, what is the base build that Plesk developers are using for Debian builds?

When I build a debian box, I don't install it as a Desktop, Server, or anything else. To me that's a base build. If we know what the developers are using to test their installer, it would be easier to troubleshoot install problems.

As I know openbsd-inetd package should not be installed on the server otherwise Plesk installation fails. Actually, this information is included into release notes for Plesk: http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.1/Debian3.1/psa_8.1.0-debian3.1.build81061226.14_i386.html
......................................
If you are going to install Plesk on Debian systems, make sure that the openbsd-inetd package is not installed on your system. Otherwise, the installation may fail.

After that try to install 'xinetd' package:
# apt-get install xinetd

and then continue Plesk installation. Hope it helps.

I had read the part about removing openbsd-inetd, but I didn't know about the xinetd install. Once I successfully removed that package and installed xinetd, it did in fact install cleanly. Thanks for the extra tip!
