This seems a corner case, not etch-to-lenny-upgrade related, so reducing severity.

This is wrong, you have to install proftpd-basic and possibly a proftpd-mod-* file if needed. You have to check that yourself on the basis of your configuration. Also do not checking why it did not start soon is a great way to be ignored by me. Your configuration was already broken at that point. Why? Your successive actions did more damages than benefits at that point, as explained below.

Post -11 proftpd package is a pure pseudo-package, no purging/install/what-else scripts. So you used an old version because the installation of -13 was not complete due to your broken configuration. Your successive acts due the rest. > > I restore my config files, and try to start it again: > # /etc/init.d/proftpd start > Starting ftp server: proftpd - Fatal: LoadModule: error loading module > 'mod_ldap.c': Permission denied on line 18 of '/etc/proftpd/modules.conf' > failed! > > I had to disable 5 modules.
