Description Ted Marston 2022-04-15 23:24:58 UTC 
net-ftp/vsftpd-3.0.5-r1 installs /usr/share/empty/ instead of /usr/share/vsftpd/empty/. 
This is was fixed many rears ago for an earlier version, but the problem has reappeared. 
See bug #12834.
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2022-04-15 23:40:42 UTC 
I think upstream uses /usr/share/empty. I don't see any reason to change it.
Comment 2 Ted Marston 2022-04-16 01:10:14 UTC 
This is a change from where net-ftp/vsftpd-3.0.3-r4 put it.
Comment 3 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2022-04-16 03:22:35 UTC 
The change is intentional.

In older versions of vsftp, we alter the path via a source code patch (vsftpd-2.3.5-gentoo.patch).

I see no reason to do so.

A Changes note to this effect would have saved me a few hours chasing a bug with a very vague error message.
