[Bug 870744] [NEW] package samba-common 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.8 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Giles Birch]

Public bug reported:

I didn't actually notice the failed install.  But connectivity went
away.  I had to remove and re-install Samba from scratch to get it
working again.  Note also that security=user seems to cause the Samba
server to be invisible to Windows 7 machines--by changing that one line
in smb.conf (from user to share and back again) I could toggle the
appearance of the server in my WIndows 7 network window (Win 7 Pro,
64-bit).
