# `maintainer-script-has-invalid-update-inetd-options`

The specified maintainer script seems to call `update-inetd(8)` with an invalid option combination.

For example, the `--group` parameter is only valid in combination with `--add` and `--pattern` is only valid without `--add`.

Whilst these have been ignored in the past they now emit a warning which will become an error in the future, resulting in upgrade/removal failures.

Please correct the call to `update-inetd(8)`.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
