If –force is used, unversioned obstructing paths in the working
copy do not automatically cause a failure if the update attempts to
add the same path. If the obstructing path is the same type (file
or directory) as the corresponding path in the repository it becomes
versioned but its contents are left ‘as-is’ in the working copy.
This means that an obstructing directory’s unversioned children may
also obstruct and become versioned. For files, any content differences
between the obstruction and the repository are treated like a local
modification to the working copy. All properties from the repository
are applied to the obstructing path. Obstructing paths are reported
in the first column with code ‘E’.

On Jaime’s reply there is a typo:

“setseboll” must be “setsebool”

Get the latest version of vsftpd direct from the author: https://security.appspot.com/vsftpd.html

I had lots of problems because the latest version of Linux Mint 14 was using an old version of vsftpd. I read the Software Manager page carefully for vsftpd and I noticed the author’s website link. I downloaded it and I am happy now!
