Has anyone seen this problem before. I am running antiX 17.4.1 i386

you could try renaming the /srv/tftp directory and reinstalling the
package.

something like in the terminal.
sudo mv -R /srv/tftp /srv/tftpold
that way you can name it back if doesn’t work.

I tried removing the directory and the user it creates (tftpd), but I get the same result.

not sure, maybe others have an idea. I’m not on 17.4.1-386 today to test it out.
are you using full or base?
