Description Zoltan Balaton 2013-12-12 01:37:25 CET

I have noticed during upgrading proftpd from mga2 to mga3 version that there may be a problem with dependencies. Previously libpcre0 provided libpcreposix.so.1 while in mga3 there is a separate package for this. But an upgrade does not pull this in but leaves both libpcre0 and libpcre1 installed instead. (To fix this I had to remove libpcre0 which also removed proftpd and then reinstall proftpd which then installed libpcreposix1.) I'm not sure which package is at fault here so this may belong to a different package.

Another issue is that with proftpd-1.3.4c-2.1.mga3 after tha update there are some files in /var that do not seem to belong there. I now have these file in /var:
/var/proftpd.delay
/var/proftpd.pid
/var/proftpd.scoreboard
/var/proftpd.scoreboard.lck

From a quick look it seesm the problem is with the libification of pcre. It's a bit of a tricky one overall to fix the libification but should be possible.

Can't work on it myself just now tho'!
