Package: vsftpd
Version: 2.3.2-3
Severity: serious

Hi,

Configurando vsftpd (2.3.2-3) ...
vsftpd user (ftp) already exists, doing nothing.
chown: grupo inválido: «root:ftp»
dpkg: error al procesar vsftpd (--configure):
 el subproceso instalado el script post-installation devolvió el código de 
salida de error 1

This is due to the postinst check not checking for the existance of the
'ftp' user, but any user starting with 'ftp':

                if ! getent passwd | grep -q "^${_USERNAME}"
                then
                        adduser --system --home ${_DIRECTORY} --no-create-home 
--quiet --gecos 'ftp daemon' --group ${_USERNAME}
                elif
                ...

Using "gettent passwd ftp" should probably be more useful. Also, this
check would assume the group already exists, which isn't the  case if you
migrate from eg. proftpd.
