Public bug reported:
So i'm trying to use vsftpd but it comes up with this
root@Talik:/etc# vsftpd
500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv6 socket
So i try purging and reinstalling it but it aborts without me doing anything
root@Talik:/etc# apt purge vsftpd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
vsftpd*
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 1 to remove and 9 not to upgrade.
After this operation, 334 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Abort.
When i go to do this via synaptic it wants me to do dpkg --configure -a
root@Talik:/home/silentstorm# dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: error processing package vsftpd (--configure):
