LEAP 16: /etc/services has invalid content causing error: Servname not supported for ai_socktype

LEAP 16.0 contains following useless placeholder content in /etc/services:

#This file was moved to /usr/etc/services. This file will be removed soon.

Provided by:

$ rpm -qf /usr/etc/services 
netcfg-11.6-160000.2.2.noarch

This breaks all applications that query /etc/services including guix pull.
It causes following error:

getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype

Workaround: create symlink to proper services with:

sudo ln -fs /usr/etc/services /etc/services

Here is snippet of proper /etc/services content:

tcpmux             1/tcp        # TCP Port Service Multiplexer  [Mark_Lottor]                                           
tcpmux             1/udp        # TCP Port Service Multiplexer  [Mark_Lottor]                                           
compressnet        2/tcp        # Management Utility                                                                    
compressnet        2/udp        # Management Utility                                                                    
compressnet        3/tcp        # Compression Process  [Bernie_Volz]                                                    
compressnet        3/udp        # Compression Process  [Bernie_Volz
...

Question: Does anybody know why netcfg package provides such invalid /etc/services that serve no useful purpose - just breaking applications?

It should be simply symlink to proper /usr/etc/services
