This is a packaging bug. Packages in Extras should not conflict with packages from Core and should instead be able to be installed alongside Core packages.
Some files used to conflict between vsftpd and proftpd, I think it was the pam.d file but I couldd be wrong. This is no longer the case, so I've removed the explicit conflicts it had against vsftpd, wu-ftpd and anonftp (which are long gone now). I've tested and installing both works, although the use of having more than one ftp server installed is something I fail to understand :-) Expect 1.3.0 final with this fixed to appear really soon in devel, and shortly after for FC-5.
