I figured it out: On my system, dhcp3 was a symlink pointing to dhcp (dunno why). Samba expects two different directories here.
What I did: cd /etc rm dhcp3 cp -r dhcp dhcp3 apt-get -f install Works like a charm. Samba puts a script file in /etc/dhcp/dhclient- enter-hooks.d and links to that file from /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter- hooks.d (now we know why it didn't work before) Drawback is that there are now duplicated dhcp config files, which seems rather unclean to me. Can someone enlighten me what the directory structure is supposed to be? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993660 Title: package samba-common 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.4 failed to install/upgrade: unable to open '/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter- hooks.d/samba.dpkg-new': Too many levels of symbolic links To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/993660/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
