thanks
Hi all,
Here we go, there is a better solution.
It is possible to install and enable a third unit file such as:
+++ /etc/systemd/system/proftpd-run.service:
[Unit]
Description=ProFTPD FTP Server in standalone/socket mode
OnFailure=proftpd.socket
OnSuccess=proftpd.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
Environment=CONFIG_FILE=/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/proftpd
ExecStart=/usr/bin/grep -iqE '^[[:space:]]*ServerType[[:space:]]+standalone$'
$CONFIG_FILE
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Here one can enable only this service and install only the other ones.
systemctl disable proftpd.service
systemctl disable proftpd.socket
systemctl enable --now proftpd-run.service
do the task.
I would add this solution to git and prepare an ad hoc p-u for bookworm, but
I'd prefer having a go from the release team, before that.
- cheers

For reference, all this is a side effect of the proposed fix for #991266,

Bruno, that's right
Unfortunately yes: originally the socket unit file was concepted as an example
file to keep into the documentation and the Conflicts there does not
ensure that the .socket unit is ignored when the .service is
enabled.
The simplest workaroud is
systemctl disable --now proftpd.socket
systemctl enable --now proftpd.service
but the initial installation is definitively broken, because proftpd
starts as a systemd socket, which is not intended by the distributed
proftpd.conf.
Hilmar, the simplest thing to do is probably addig a mask/disable of
proftpd.socket at postinst time,
and an enable --now for the proftpd.service, when server should be
run in standalone mode (check via grepping proftpd.conf), after
installing systemd stuff in --no-enable --no-start mode.
This is of course not completely fair because ignores xinetd/inetd setup.
