[Bug 804425] Re: package vsftpd 2.2.2-3ubuntu6.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3

[Andreas Moog]

Chuck, why is this a "Won't Fix"? From the log:

Setting up vsftpd (2.2.2-3ubuntu6.2) ...
vsftpd group (ftp) already exists, doing nothing.
vsftpd user (ftp) already exists, doing nothing.
gpasswd: group 'ftp' does not exist in /etc/group
dpkg: error processing vsftpd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3

So the postinst thinks the group ftp already exists while apparently it
doesn't.

Mike, can you post the output of "grep ftp /etc/group"?
