Hi Guys,
My command line hung for ages while doing a yum update for pure-ftp. After about 20 minutes I aborted it and found that pure-ftp would not start. Here's the output of the history info for that yum update job:

As you can see a warning message did show up that said "warning: /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf saved as /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf.rpmsave." Now, pure-ftpd won't start, plus I've tried to downgrade and it won't. I'm stuck with this error.
I get this message every time I try to restart pure-ftpd now:
"Starting pure-ftpd: /usr/bin/dirname: extra operand `.pid'
Try `/usr/bin/dirname --help' for more information.
[FAILED]"
Any ideas?
Thanks, Mark
