Ok - So I wanted to make sure that everything on my VSFTPd server was upto date and secure. I ran the following command and I don't understand why all these other applications are flagged for upgrade when I see no association with vsFTPd.
stricom:/etc/exim4# apt-get upgrade vsftpd

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
"apt-get upgrade" is the command for upgrading all installed applications for which more recent versions are available. Presumably APT is then ignoring the superfluous reference to vsftpd.
To upgrade only vsftpd, run "apt-get install vsftpd".
That said, the other items listed for upgrade may well be listed as a result of security warnings or bugs (that will certainly be the case if you are running Sarge) so it may be worth letting the upgrade proceed.
