Summary:                    pkgrm removes link /etc/inetd.conf ->
/etc/inet/inetd.conf and create second inetd.conf
Description: 
edits the file /etc/inetd.conf and moves it to a backup name./  This file
is a link so the process creates a new file /etc/inetd.conf and destoys the
link to ./inet/inetd.conf.  After pkgrm:

$ ls -l /etc/inetd.conf*
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other       6615 Sep 29 16:44 /etc/inetd.conf
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         17 Aug 17 11:26 /etc/inetd.conf.O
-> ./inet/inetd.conf

The key to this bug is to ensure clean update by sorting out the mess left
by removal of the old package.

Notes from IRC:

16:45:04 <Dagobert> Ok, It should on preinstall for fixing call the
following lines:
16:45:04 <Dagobert> build8st# mv /etc/inetd.conf /etc/inet/inetd.conf
16:45:05 <Dagobert> build8st# mv /etc/inetd.conf.O /etc/inetd.conf
16:46:01 <Dagobert> build8st# mv /etc/services /etc/inet/services
16:46:01 <Dagobert> build8st# mv /etc/services.O /etc/services
16:46:15 <Dagobert> And trigger on [ -f /etc/inetd.conf.O ]
16:46:36 <Dagobert> Best location would be pkgutil update hook
16:48:11 <Dagobert> It may go into preinstall script, but that would also
trigger when some unware admin make inetd.conf.o himself
16:48:43 <Dagobert> It should for sanity check the link for name and
destination also
