The problems is:
 lfpt.sh expects to have a console around, a user and keyboard attached. But
this isn't the case for postinstall scripts when they get run from setup.

to get rid of the problem fast:

$ diff -up lftp.sh.original lftp.sh.done
--- lftp.sh.original    2003-11-07 20:42:56.000000000 +0100
+++ lftp.sh.done        2003-11-07 20:54:06.000000000 +0100

 }

 # Check if lftp.conf exists. If yes, ask for overwriting
+export auto_answer="no"

 if [ -f "${SYSCONFDIR}/lftp.conf" ]
 then
