Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I have been unable to reproduce this on a fresh natty image installing vsftpd from -updates and then removing it using "apt-get remove vsftpd". It could be that there is a problem specific to your machine. Could you please try the following command and paste the output, so that we can see where exactly it is failing? Once done, please set the the Status back to New. Thanks! Please run: sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/vsftpd.postrm remove ** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/903743 Title: package vsftpd 2.3.2-3ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vsftpd/+bug/903743/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
