[Bug 808631] Re: package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 2

[wrekced]

After the last Samba update, I can see two instances of my computer in
the workgroup from my Windows machine. I cannot log into either one
though. Files still can't be shared between my Windows machines and my
Linux box. My Windows XP box says "The parameter is incorrect" which
parameter is that I wonder...

>From another Ubuntu box, I see only one instance in the workgroup and I
can log into it.

I just removed and re-installed Samba. The second instance of my
computer disappeared from the workgroup. However, I still get the same
error: "The parameter is incorrect". I cannot log in from Windows XP or
7 but Ubuntu still has no problem.


I notice that when I completely remove Samba, it still remembers my previous shares... How do I get rid of that? What file in my home directory do I delete?

  package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 2

Bug description:
  Before the upgrade to 11.04 Samba and system-config-samba worked just
  fine for sharing with the windows machines on my network. Now, at
  first this machine did not show up in the workgroup at all. now it
  shows up but I can't connect. My XP box says that "The parameter is
  wrong" Whatever that means... I tried un-installing and re-installing
  Samba and system-config-samba. There was an error. That is how I got
  to this report...
