Re: [Bug 514963] Re: package samba-common-bin 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Thanks for your suggestion. Here's what I found: 1. The contents of my nmblookup is: rship of the /var/lib/mysql directory:\n\n /var/lib/mysql: drwxr-xr-x mysqlmysql Type: note Owners: mysql-server-5.1/nis_warning Name: mysq 2. I tried running the 2 commands you suggest, and get the following error with both: update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/nmblookup corrupt: invalid status If you have any more suggestions, I will be happy to try them, however, I may be out of town for several days due to a family issue.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I just checked the installed version in Synaptic and it shows the latest version as 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.4. The reason I'm not sure about whether there's still a problem is that I am not currently using Samba and don't know how to test whether it is actually installed correctly. If you can give me some simple instructions, I'll be happy to check.
