Bug Description
Binary package hint: command-
Release: Feisty Fawn
When trying the command "gftp" you'll get something like this:
wesley@eza:~$ gftp
The program 'gftp' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gftp-common
However, installing gftp-common does not work, you'll get this error:
wesley@eza:~$ gftp
Error: Can't find gFTP binaries installed in /usr/bin
Instead, the command-not-found program should offer to install gftp (and gftp-common?) instead of only gftp-common

This is quite problemtatic: the package that contains /usr/bin/gftp *is* gftp-common
'/usr/bin/gftp' is a shell script that tries to lauch X or text mode gftp front-end.
gft-common should be for the architecture 'all' and should depend on gftp-gtk | gft-text
I suggest closing the bug here and filing one for gftp.
