[Bug 1451322] Re: upgrade 10.04 to 14.04 failed - package samba-common 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

The relevant code from samba-common.postinst is:

# Clean up the now-empty dir which our conffile was previously in,
# since it wasn't empty at the time dpkg could automatically remove it
# for us.
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 2:4.1.4+dfsg-2~
then
 rmdir -p --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d
fi

and the postinst error is:

rmdir: failed to remove ‘/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d’: No such
file or directory

It seems to me that the postinst is missing a test for the directory
first, and the code is still present in Debian VCS master. This needs a
more detailed look.
