  Title: package vsftpd (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
+ 
+ 
+ SRU comments:
+ Impact: Breaks install of vsftp if any existing user or group name begins with 'ftp'.
+ How bug addressed: The vsftpd.postinst script is patched so it accepts only whole names 'ftp', not names beginning with 'ftp'.
+ Patch: See attached debdiffs.
+ To reproduce: Create a user or group 'ftpfoo' before installing vsftpd
+ Regression Potential: This should have no impact as it only changes the string being checked for in existing users and groups.  If there were a typo in the patch, it could break vsftpd installation.
