Package: vsftpd Version: 3.0.2-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
If vsftpd was previously configured as listen=NO in /etc/vsftpd.conf, upgrades will fail to install, because the init script returns an exit status of 1 with the above configuration. Consequently, the postinst script fails. I have attached an output log to demonstrate what happens. As a workaround, to force the installation, I have modified the init script to return an exit status of 0. However, if there's a good reason for the script to return a non-zero value, perhaps dh_installinit would require an --error-handler parameter for successful installation in the above case.
