Bug Description
I would like to request a SRU for the package vsftp to fix this update/install bug.
IMPACT: If vsftp is to be installed on a system where the user "ftp" already exists, but the group "ftp" doesn't, the user is unable to succesfully continue with the installation.
FIX: In later releases of the package, the conditional in the postinst was corrected to address this issue. A minimal patch is attached.
REPRODUCE: on a clean install, add the ftp user and try installing this software.

..... Fixed in Maverick and Natty, SRU candidate.
