The script must have been deleted already. If the script is still presentthen update-rc.d aborts with an error message.So, 'Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/samba ...' installs the script The debian postinst script tries to remove the links from '/etc/rcrunlevel.d' but fails because the script exists (see line above)There is a way around this, it doesn't matter if the script exists if the links don't, so, in my opinion, whoever wrote the script should have added '-f', this would remove the links even if the script exists.Of course, this is really an artifact of using systemd. RowlandThanks, Rowland! I knew you'd take notice (and reply) You've been a big help to me.*Is there any way for "me" to work around this or must I wait for Inverse?*I was hoping there might still be a way to use 'dpkg' to force reconfiguration/installation.Even downloading packages individually and using 'dpkg' is acceptable (until Inverse edits the script)There may be a way to fix this, open /var/lib/dpkg/status in your favourite editor and search for the 'samba' package, normally it should show as :Status: install ok installedChange whatever it says there to match the above, close and save the file. Now run 'update-rc.d -f samba remove' then 'apt-get -f install'This may fix your system, then again, it may not, all I can suggest is you try it :-)Rowlandno go adam@sogo:~$ sudo update-rc.d -f samba remove Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/samba ... adam@sogo:~$ sudo apt-get -f install samba Reading package lists...

hi.
this is just a suggestion, if the problem really just is the postinst script
download the package using wget or other local tool
then unpack it and extract the DEBIAN folder from it like this
*NOTE* foo.deb is the package you modify
*NOTE* tmpdir is the folder you extract the deb archive to.
*NOTE* hacked.deb is the package you install!
dpkg-deb -x foo.deb tmpdir
dpkg-deb --control foo.deb tmpdir/DEBIAN
now edit the postinst script
nano tmpdir/DEBIAN/control
now pack the deb file and install it
dpkg -b tmpdir hacked.deb
dpkg -i hacked.deb
I've done this my self a few times, and might just be what you need if
you don't want to compile it
just a suggestion. Regards Christian Jensen
