Hi,
I've created a patch and NMU'ed it to DELAYED/0 according to
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/09/msg00020.html
The patch is attached.
The problem was, that upstream renamed a few releases ago the binary
from tnftp to ftp -- but the maintainer forgot to adjust the postinst
and prerm scripts accordingly.
In order to keep my patch as non intrusive as possible I simply renamed
the binary back from ftp to tnftp. Installing and Purging the package
now works like a charm.
Cheers,
Bastian
