I've tested several older versions of proftpd on trusty now, all with the same error message. So the problem might not originate in proftpd, but rather in another library. With google I found various references that supposedly the behavior of crypt has changed sometime ago. Could this be related? See for example: patchwork. openembedded. org/patch/ 47529/
