Well, have you tried removing it ?

julien at lifebook ~ $ which gftp
/usr/bin/gftp
julien at lifebook ~ $ LANG=en_GB sudo apt-get remove gftp
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package gftp is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 12 not upgraded.

Any clue about what's happening here ?

Thanks.
