[Bug 877852] Re: samba failed to install when updating from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10

[Dave Walker]

Please note, this is a duplicate of bug 862129 - but due to Launchpad
bug 838771 we've been unable to mark it as such.  This bug is being used
a temporary secondary location for attaching duplicates to.  When the
Launchpad bug is resolved, this (and it's duplicates) should be re-
attached to the main bug.

Thanks.
