slangasek once said: "the reasons for not regenerating the config file whenever it's missing or empty are rooted in the Debian and Ubuntu policy on config files, and this can't be changed without causing more problems than it solves."
so we should rather have a more informative error message. Something like: Not replacing deleted config file /etc/samba/smb.conf Install/upgrade will fail. To recover, please try: sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf sudo dpkg --configure -a ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Wishlist -- samba-common fails to upgrade if smb.conf is deleted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312449 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
