Btw, as http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-12.10/ubuntu-universe-i386/pure-ftpd- mysql_1.0.36-1_i386.deb.html states (my problem is even mentioned in this changelog entry):
2012-06-22 - Stefan Hornburg (Racke) <[email protected]> pure-ftpd (1.0.36-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release, fixes external authentication (Closes: #652938, thanks to Jon Daley <[email protected]> for the report). * Add build-arch and build-indep targets to debian/rules. So it seems the "only" needed thing is to also update 12.04 (and possible also other supported Ubuntu versions?). As we use LTS versions for servers, we can't do too much with the fact that it's already fixed in the freshest (but not LTS) Ubuntu. I am not sure what kind of risks I can cause with installing 12.10 packages ("by hand") on a 12.04 system, it works, but ... thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1092903 Title: pure-ftpd does not work in 12.04.1 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pure-ftpd/+bug/1092903/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
