Bug Description
Binary package hint: wu-ftpd
Hello,
I have Ubuntu 8.10 newly installed on this computer and needed a simple FTP server today.
I installed wu-ftpd, but the beast would not start up.
My analysis: /etc/init.d/wu-ftpd tries to find out whether an instance of inetd is installed.
But there is a simple bug in that shell code, that causes wu-ftpd to not start up by itself
even if inetd is not installed (it isn't on this machine).
The essence of that bug: The shell command [ -n ] is a success, while [ -n "" ] is not.
Patch included.
With best regards, and thank you for providing fine software,
Andreas Krüger
