[Apt-proxy-users] apt-proxy-v2 (1.9.17) won't start under xinetd?

[Larry M. <Lar...@Sp...>]

Hi,

Running a mixed Sid/Sarge system. Just installed apt-proxy-v2 (a.k.a. 1.9.17)
from testing. Now the service won't restart under xinetd, complaining that 9999
is already in use. I've tried restating both xinetd and apt-proxy, but the
results are the same. netstat says nothing is using port 9999.

It's probably something simple, but I'm an xinetd-noob, I'm afraid.

tia for any help,
Larry.
