Package: vsftpd Version: 3.0.2-17+deb8u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
when trying to configure vsftpd to allow it to run with user-writeable chroot directories, the daemon does not start up. Removing the allow_writeable_chroot directive helps, but for my configuration here I really need this to be enabled. According to vsftpd upstream changelogs, the directive was added in 2.3.5 and never removed. However, the version provided in jessie does not seem to recognise the option, and it's also not mentioned in the vsftpd.conf manpage. Is this a bug, or was this option removed intentionally in the Debian build? -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vsftpd depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii dialog 1.2-20140911-1 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u6 ii libcap2 1:2.24-8 ii libpam-modules 1.1.8-3.1+deb8u1+b1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1+deb8u1+b1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1t-1+deb8u4 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-25 ii netbase 5.3 Versions of packages vsftpd recommends: ii logrotate 3.8.7-1+b1 ii ssl-cert 1.0.35 vsftpd suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/vsftpd.conf changed [not included] -- debconf information: vsftpd/directory: /srv/ftp vsftpd/username: ftp
