[Bug 1635491] Re: package samba (not installed) 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.

I am able to reproduce this as follows:

lxc launch ubuntu:yakkety samba-test
lxc exec samba-test bash
apt-get update && apt-get -y install samba
systemctl stop nmbd
ifdown eth0
systemctl start nmbd

It seems that nmbd hangs indefinitely waiting on a network interface,
even if the loopback interface is up.

I think this is a bug because laptop users may have samba installed but
don't always have a network available (apart from loopback).

** Summary changed:

- package samba (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
+ nmbd hangs on service start if only the loopback interface is configured

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High
