[Bug 1185250] Re: package samba 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Jay Jaeger]

Robie, your response to the others was unhelpful.  This is NOT a "local
configuration problem", but rather an endemic problem with mythbuntu.
Based on info on the Internet regarding past releases, this appears to
be a result of mythbuntu's configuration making changes to smb.conf,
which results in the update failing.  It happens on ALL mythbuntu
systems with SMB - so it is not unique to the other repoters' systems.
It would be more helpful for the Ubuntu folks and the mythbuntu folks to
put their heads together and find out what causes this on ALL mythbuntu
systems with SMB when they try to upgrade.  In the meantime, the
workaround seems to be to not include samba in the GUI driven automatic
update process, and the update it using "apt-get upgrade", though I have
not yet tried that.  See
