Bug Description

Message displayed during installation:

Setting up ftpd (0.17-33) ...
Note: xinetd currently is not fully supported by update-inetd.
      Please consult /usr/share/doc/xinetd/README.Debian and itox(8).
------------------------------------------------
There is an example configuration for using ftpd
under the control of xinetd. It is delivered as

    /usr/share/doc/fptd/examples/ftpd.xinetd
------------------------------------------------

The path
"/usr/share/doc/fptd/examples/ftpd.xinetd" should probably say:
"/usr/share/doc/ftpd/examples/ftpd.xinetd"

Thanks for taking your time to reporting this issue.

I looked a bit into this issue and discovered that it has been recently fixed in linux-ftpd 0.17-35 which is available in Ubuntu Wily. See the changes at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/linux-ftpd/wily/revision/13 for details.

Since this issue has been resolved in the latest development release of Ubuntu, I believe this can be marked as fixed. The typo doesn't seem critical, so I'm afraid it probably won't qualify for an SRU (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When) for older releases.
