[Bug 910955] [NEW] package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')

[kpl388]

Public bug reported:

When upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10, I got the following error message:

"Could not install '/var/cache/apt/archives/samba_2%3a3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb'"
with an error exit status 2. 

It then, of course, failed to configure properly.
