Description Matthew Kennedy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Welcome to the xinetd metabug.  The goal here is to only install xinetd config files on systems where users have xinetd.  If the user has xinet in USE, then install the config file, else don't.

The following ebuilds installed xinetd configuration on my machine
even though I don't have xinetd installed.

ebuilds with USE=xinetd:

dev-db/firebird
net-ftp/proftpd
net-ftp/pure-ftpd
net-ftp/vsftpd
net-im/bitlbee
net-mail/qpopper
net-misc/linux-identd
net-misc/netkit-fingerd
net-misc/rsync
net-proxy/ziproxy

Anyway, absolutely nothing will happen here if you don't CC the maintainers... :P

Is this thing worth fixing? QA team, please advise.

I do not think it is worth fixing.
