  * debian/vsftpd.postinst: (LP: #709194)
    - Update conditional to fix upgrade issue when user exists, but group does not

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: vsftpd
+ I would like to request a SRU for the package vsftp to fix this
+ update/install bug.
  
- this bug was detected by OS. vsftpd was running.
+ IMPACT: If vsftp is to be installed on a system where the user "ftp"
+ already exists, but the group "ftp" doesn't, the user is unable to
+ succesfully continue with the installation.
  
- ProblemType: Package
- DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04
- Package: vsftpd 2.2.2-3ubuntu6

- Title: package vsftpd 2.2.2-3ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
+ FIX: In later releases of the package, the conditional in the postinst
+ was corrected to address this issue. A minimal patch is attached.
+ 
+ REPRODUCE: on a clean install, add the ftp user and try installing this
+ software.
+ 
+ REGRESSION-POTENTIAL: There is little chance for a regression as the
+ only thing that is changed is the postinst script.
