I think you should give us more information. You should cite whole error 
message and it's not clear to me if you have a problem trying to install 
vsftpd or using installed program. If it's first case, then you are 
probably trying to install the program with dpkg, and don't have other 
packages it depends upon. Try using apt-get:

apt-get install vsftpd
