Comment 9 for bug 573975

I did not see the issue myself, but the reporter and another person (comments #1 and #2) say that for them, /etc/default/tftpd-hpa contained "/srv/tftp" instead of the expected "/var/lib/tftpboot", and that caused the message "forbidden directory" to be displayed.

I don't know under which circumstances that happens, so I cannot provide any feedback - it's up to the reporter to provide any details necessary. Maybe on same cases the debian/tftpd-hpa.templates file isn't used?

There are also other problems in this bug report (compiz, sound etc) but I think that the "major" one that's also reflected in the title is related to tftpd-hpa, that's why I thought it should be moved here.
