Hi,
what error do you get when you try the above commands? And have you tried to stop the service? For example:
sudo service vsftpd stop
sudo apt-get remove vsftpd
Thanks for answer and I got this error.

Ok, then check the dpkg log:
sudo less /var/log/dpkg.log
Go to the end of the file, you should find more information about the error. Or try to remove the package directly from the dpkg tool:
sudo dpkg --purge vsftpd
The apt is, in practice, an interface for the dpkg command:

I don't have other ideas, try follow the suggestions of this post:
The file to check it should be /var/lib/dpkg/info/vsftpd.postinst
and in practice you have to check if there is something like this:
#!/bin/sh -e
Or:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
And in the first case remove -e
, in the second remove set -e
. If it still does not work, repeat it for all these files:
ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/vsftpd.*
Hope it helps. Bye!
Thanks sir for you help I think there is a bug in vsftpd.
I found my answer here. The issue lied in this file. I commented out 3 parameters and the removal worked. installed pure-ftpd afterwards. -at the bottom of post
