Package: vsftpd
Version: 2.2.2-3
Severity: normal
I installed vsftpd, and then realized i wanted to make sure that the
offered directory was on its own filesystem, so that uploads were
properly restrained.
So i made a new logical volume, and mounted it on /srv/ftp.
I subsequently decided i wanted to remove vsftpd, and got this error:

255 pip:~#
my workaround was:
umount /srv/ftp
aptitude remove vsftpd
mkdir /srv/ftp
mount /srv/ftp
but this seems like it should not have been necessary.
