[Bug 791944] Re: package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: broken permissions cause daemons not to start correctly

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package samba - 2:3.6.5-3ubuntu2

---------------
samba (2:3.6.5-3ubuntu2) quantal; urgency=low

  * d/samba.nmbd.upstart: Ignore the return code of testparm in pre-start;
    it's used to query the configuration NOT to validate it in this context
    which generates alot of bug reports for unrelated configuration issues
    (LP: #791944).
