Title:
  SRU: vsftp 2.2.2-3ubuntu6.1

Status in “vsftpd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “vsftpd” source package in Lucid:
  Triaged
Status in “vsftpd” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  I would like to request a SRU for the package vsftp to fix this
  update/install bug.

  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.

  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.
