[Bug 677764] Re: package vsftpd (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make ubuntu
better. This is interesting - it looks as though the install
script thought that you already had a user and group named
ftp. I suspect you have a group which starts with 'ftp'. Can
you please provide the output of
getent group | grep ^ftp
To work around this, you should be able to simply create the
ftp user and group that it wanted to create. Then re-install
the package.
However, this is a real bug in the postinst script which will
need to be fixed. The '| grep ^${_USERNAME}' must be
switched to | grep ^${_USERNAME}:.

[Bug 677764] Re: package vsftpd (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Since the release of 10.04, I've been spending a lot of time transitioning a bunch of physical 32-bit boxes to virtual 64-bit servers. A couple of the new boxes were built, blown away and rebuilt for various reasons. The problem is I can't remember which box generated this problem and if it even exists anymore. Having said that, I have a big cheat sheet with a bunch of aptitude install commands to quickly setup the majority of the programs that can be found on all of our servers. These commands are cut-and-pasted manually so we can fine tune each installation but it's still fast because we're able to knock out the majority of packages quickly. In the /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file there is a line to set a non privileged user for vsftpd to run under: #nopriv_user=ftpsecure The usual steps are load vsftpd, edit vsftpd.conf, uncomment the line above, save the configuration file, create the user ftpsecure, and then restart vsftpd. Using the history command on one of my boxes shows this process: r...@itdevcode:~# history | grep ftp 60 aptitude install vsftpd build-essential 61 vi /etc/vsftpd.conf 62 adduser ftpsecure --system --no-create-home --disabled-password 63 restart vsftpd It may be possible that I thought I had loaded vsftpd and created the ftpsecure user. Then I realized the vsftpd.conf was missing and tried to load the software. If the existence of the ftpsecure user caused the load to fail, then it would explain why I've loaded a bunch of boxes successfully and had a single one fail with an error. On this one install I could have done a step out of order. -- package vsftpd (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
