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 ** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Tags added: maverick -- package vsftpd (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
