Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Could you please try to remove vsftpd again, and once it has failed, execute 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 (after sudo apt-get remove vsftpd has failed): 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/901180 Title: cannot apt-get remove vsftp after installing it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vsftpd/+bug/901180/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
