sorry for not being clear. the problem was that dpkg thinks you've removed the package as evidenced by the dpkg -L failure and the status of tftpd shown in dpkg -l (rc for removed but still configured (i think)) while apt-cache thinks the package is installed as shown by the previous apt-cache policy output.

By --reinstalling it, the files should be there now.

you can verify with

dpkg -l tftpd

which should now show

...
ii tftpd blah blah blah

and

Do you need help?

dpkg -L tftpd

which should show a handful of files (its a pretty small package).

and now you can try restarting inet.d and see what happens.
