Have you tried to resynchronize the package index files from their sources before installing the package?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vsftpd

Answer 2

You can download the .deb archive for amd64 and/or i386 from these links. Go to the directory that you downloaded the .deb archive to, and install the package manually by:

sudo dpkg -i "packageName.deb" #replace the text in quotes with the name of the package you downloaded
sudo apt-get install -f  # to fix any dependencies that might be broken.

I removed my Singapore droplet mirror and changed mirror from Singapore to Newyork and now it's working.
