By a mistake... this is my new /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql:
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart
How to install or recover the file? The standard apt-get remove, apt-get install or apt-get install --reinstall pure-ftpd-common pure-ftpd-mysql doesn’t give me that file back.
If you have the binary .deb file, you can use Midnight commander (mc) from the shell to just navigate inside and retrieve files from it.
For your convenience, this is the file as found in pure-ftpd-mysql_1.0.36-1.1_i386.deb:

hack the .deb... works fine for me. \o/ Have a good weekend!
Have you tried to remove the file with rm and then re-install the package?
If it doesn't work, you can try aptitude purge or apt-get remove --purge to remove the package and all its configuration files. Then, install it again and you will get the default configuration file.
If nothing works, try to get the .deb file from the repo (look fo it in packages.debian.org), and untar it twice (first, the .deb package, and then the data.tar.gz that will be included inside the .deb. You must find the configuration file there.
mc which does the unpacking transparently for you and can view and copy files out of there) over remove-reinstall, because it's pretty sure to be less-destructive.

purge is not the best solution in this case: running system vs. one missing textfile.
just create an empty file before re-installing
sudo touch /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql
then reinstall with --purge flag (it removes a library with this file, and creates a new work file)
sudo apt-get remove pure-ftpd-mysql --purge
sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd-mysql
sudo commands; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations, and at the very least with sentences. Answers that don’t include explanations may be removed.
