Package: vsftpd Version: 3.0.2-2 Followup-For: Bug #696993 Hi,
I have a similar situation here: "listen=NO", I change it to "listen=YES" onyl if I want to use the server, which is not very often. IMHO the prerm script should check whether the server was actually running at the time of upgrade and/or "listen" is set to "yes/no" in the config file before command: invoke-rc.d vsftpd stop || exit $? is executed and postinst should check for "listen" set to yes/no before running: invoke-rc.d vsftpd start || exit $? A bit of grep with some if statememnts hould do the trick but I'm not sure what Debian Policy has to say about situations like that.
