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.

thx, Christian
I tried Rowland's suggestion last evening ('sudo apt-get -f install'),
and it didn't resolve the issue.
It certainly seems to me that I need a CORRECT 'samba' package, and if
it's strictly the postinst script, as the error notes, and as Rowland
suggested, then your methodology just might get me over the hump.
here were the latest steps I took --
adam@sogo:~$ sudo apt-get remove samba (no errors)
adam@sogo:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (installed
remaining packages)
adam@sogo:~$ sudo apt-get install python-ocsmanager (package withheld above)
('python-ocsmanager' requires 'samba' which generates the following error)
Setting up samba (2:4.1.18+dfsg-3~inverse1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/logrotate.d/samba ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init/smbd.conf ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/samba ...
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/samba exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
dpkg: error processing package samba (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
(edit /var/lib/dpkg/status to read "install ok installed" then)
adam@sogo:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 645 package
'samba':

adam@sogo:~$
So, it appears to me that SOMEONE needs to edit the post-installation
script.
I will try one more time using the 'sudo update-rc.d -f samba remove'
command (as I did before)
Then I'll try your suggestion (probably this evening EDT -- NY time)
thx for the suggestion
