Bug#951916: proftpd-mod-vroot: proftpd cannot load mod_vroot

[Nikolai Lusan]

Package: proftpd-mod-vroot
Version: 0.9.8-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to run proftpd with mod_vroot. The following error causes hosts using vroot to not be loaded:

	# service proftpd check-config
	2020-02-23 13:19:36,841 kiev proftpd[537394]: mod_dso/0.5: unable to load 'mod_vroot.c'; check to see if '/usr/lib/proftpd/mod_vroot.la' exists
	2020-02-23 13:19:36,841 kiev proftpd[537394]: fatal: LoadModule: error loading module 'mod_vroot.c': No such file or directory on line 93 of '/etc/proftpd/modules.conf'
	2020-02-23 13:19:36,841 kiev proftpd[537394]: warning: unable to include '/etc/proftpd/modules.conf': Operation not permitted
	ProFTPD configuration OK

The current proftpd-mod-vroot upstream also has this problem. The current package in the repositories states:

	Package: proftpd-mod-vroot
	Version: 0.9.8-1
	Installed-Size: 52
	Maintainer: ProFTPD Maintainance Team <pkg-proftpd-maintainers at alioth-lists.debian.net>
	Architecture: amd64
	Depends: proftpd-basic (>= 1.3.4~rc2-2~), libc6 (>= 2.4), proftpd-abi-1.3.6b
	Breaks: proftpd-basic (<< 1.3.4~rc2-2~)
	Description-en: ProFTPD module mod_vroot
	 The purpose of this module to is to implement a virtual chroot
	 capability that does not require root privileges.
	 The mod_vroot module provides this capability by using ProFTPD's
	 FS API. It also allows one to map a directory out of the user chroot
	 as an alias in the chroot for sharing common directories.

Effectively proftpd-mod-vroot is unusable as of the most recent update of proftpfd-basic.
