[Bug 656415] Re: package vsftpd 2.2.2-3ubuntu7.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3

[Thierry Carrez]

The issue is that the "ftp" user is not created if any user is found on
the system with a name starting with "ftp".  I'll push a proper fix for
that soon.

The workaround is to create the "ftp" user and group manually:
sudo addgroup --system --quiet ftp
sudo adduser --system --home /srv/ftp --no-create-home --quiet --gecos 'ftp daemon' --group ftp

and then retry the install.
