I found that when i suued the command

 apt-get install proftpd proftpd-common ucf

there was a conflict between proftpd and proftpd-common and it would not install.  I omitted proftpd-common and just installed proftpd and ucf.  I also noticed that it gets installed to

 /etc/proftpd/ so the next step to edit the conf file should be

vi /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

Great Work.  as 6.06 is deemed LTS I plan on sticking with this setup.
