Title:
  logrotate's restart of proftpd fails to start

Status in proftpd-dfsg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Xubuntu 14.04.1, fully updated. Since approximately November 15, 2014,
  running logrotate via cron.daily has stopped the proftpd server via
  SIGHUP, but server fails to re-start. Manually restarting works
  properly. Am not certain whether problem is in logrotate or proftpd,
  but neither has updated recently. Possible cause may be dbus changes
  done in early November.

  Current workaround is to create a cron.hourly task that checks proftpd
  status and if not running, starts the server again.
