Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
I renamed the files smb.conf and smbusers to smb.con_ and smbuse_ in the /etc/samba directory. I did not touch the gdbcommands file. No other file was in the directory. Then I ran sudo apt-get remove samba sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get install samba at the install, the following occurred: [from screen] The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: python-zopeinterface python-twisted-core python-libuser python-pygame python-pyogg python-pyvorbis python-editobj libsdl-ttf2.0-0 python-cerealizer libuser1 libcal3d12 python-soya python-tofu libsdl-mixer1.2 libode0debian1 simgear0 plib1.8.4c2 python-twisted-bin libsdl-image1.2 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

It was not there before. All this was done to try to reset the samba installation to a virgin state. I have solved the problem by renaming the backed up files back again. regards Mike ProblemType: Package Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Sep 21 17:57:13 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 ErrorMessage: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Package: samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.5 PackageArchitecture: i386 SourcePackage: samba Title: package samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Uname: Linux 2.6.24-19-server i686 ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-package -- package samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
