[Bug 1570003] [NEW] logrotate crashes proftpd

[Geir Helland]

Public bug reported:

In /etc/logrotate/proftpd-basic, the postrotate sections we find this:

invoke-rc.d proftpd restart 2>/dev/null >/dev/null || true

This command fails to properly restart the service.

Updating /etc/init.d/proftpd fixes the problem:
