[Bug 901180] Re: cannot apt-get remove vsftp after installing it

[George Peaslee]

Edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/vsftp.postrm and comment out the lines
which remove the user 'ftp' and group 'ftp'. Edit them as sudo, like
this:

sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/vsftpd.postrm

The run apt-get (or your favorite uninstaller) to remove vsftpd:

sudo apt-get remove vsftpd
