It would appear that if the directories /var/lib/samba or /var/cache/samba have anything other that 0755 permissions nmbd will fail to start as the testparm call in /etc/init/nmbd.conf returns a non- zero error code (1).
It would be good to get confirmation that this is the issue (I have reproduced artificially but looking at the number of duplicates against this bug report that should not be a problem). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/791944 Title: package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/791944/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
