[Bug 641647] Re: package vsftpd (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Clint Byrum]

Hello shankar, thanks very much for taking the time to report this bug
and help us make Ubuntu better!

It would appear that this happened because there was already a user
named ftp, but with a group name different than 'ftp'.

This is a bug in vsftpd.postinst. It automatically assumes that the
group ftp exists.

The user should be given the option to run vsftpd as a user/group other
than ftp/ftp.

Marking as Triaged as it is ready to be worked on. Setting Importance to
Low, as most users won't already have an ftp user.

** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged
