[Bug 634085] [NEW] package vsftpd 2.2.2-3ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vsftpd

I have a script which loads a series of packages whenever I do a fresh
install of Ubuntu. One of the items that's loaded is  Zero Ice (Internet
Communication Engine). On this particular install, Ice loaded before
vsftpd. Vsftpd did not like this and wanted to remove all the Ice
packages before proceeding.

I realized this when I tried to edit vsftpd.conf and it wasn't there. I
tried to load vsftpd manually using "aptitude install -y vsftpd" and it
showed all the Ice packages would be removed it I proceeded.  I also
noticed that all the Ice packages were marked for removal if I ran
"aptitude build-dep eclipse".

I went ahead and loaded vsftpd. It removed all the Ice packages. I
reinstalled the Ice packages (zeroc-ice). Now everything appears fine.
The "aptitude build-dep eclipse" command no longer complains about the
Ice packages being there.

Apparently, several packages (most of the qt4, some of the boost, etc.)
had a problem with zeroc-ice being there because they did not load
either. I had to rerun my long install command to load these missing
packages once I manually "fixed" the problem described above.
