[Bug 1007837] Re: package samba 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

This has nothing to do with dpkg. It's either samba or debconf.

** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => debconf (Ubuntu)

Title:
  package samba 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

Status in “debconf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This happened after a fresh install of Mythbuntu v.25 onto a clean
  harddrive.  The Ubuntu 12.04 Update Manager advised of many programs
  requiring update, nearly 100.  Four of these were updates to Samba
  packages.

  Functionality of original Samba install was not assessed since the
  Update Manager indicated an update was needed immediately after first
  boot.  Upgrade was allowed to proceed for all.  Download of all
  packages succeeded and installation progresses until samba-common
  packages.  At this point, installation appears to hang, for hours.
  This warning of a problem appears after system reboot.

  After another fresh install, the four samba packages were excluded
  from list and Update Manager completed without problems.  After
  another reboot, UM advised that the four samba packages required
  update.  Update for these proceeded and once again hung when
  installing the samba-common packages.
