The issue is that the "ftp" user is not created if any user is found on the system with a name starting with "ftp". I'll push a proper fix for that soon.
The workaround is to create the "ftp" user and group manually: sudo addgroup --system --quiet ftp sudo adduser --system --home /srv/ftp --no-create-home --quiet --gecos 'ftp daemon' --group ftp and then retry the install. -- package vsftpd 2.2.2-3ubuntu7.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/656415 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
