[Bug 1658273] Re: Failed to preset unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service is masked.

oem at u64:~$ journalctl | grep smbd
Jan 21 09:39:38 u64 systemd[1]: smbd.service: Supervising process 1251 which is not our child. We'll most likely not notice when it exits.
Jan 21 09:39:42 u64 systemd[1]: smbd.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
Jan 21 09:39:43 u64 systemd[1]: smbd.service: Unit entered failed state.
Jan 21 09:39:43 u64 systemd[1]: smbd.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.
Jan 21 09:45:08 u64 sudo[2919]:      oem : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/oem ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/rm  /var/crash/_usr_sbin_smbd.0.crash

note: was already reported against an older version ( lp:1610361 ) ,
affecting many people , but devs declared 'all is normal, not fatal' .
If "failed" and "crashes" are now 'normal' why wasting time to report ?
(maybe its time to move to a more serious distro)

Title:
  Failed to preset unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-
  dc.service is masked.

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a standalone desktop running zesty with a gnome-shell session, when
  upgrading the samba packages, i get:

  Setting up samba (2:4.4.5+dfsg-2ubuntu7) ...
  Failed to preset unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service is masked.
  /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on samba-ad-dc.service: No such file or directory

  note: ubuntu-bug ask questions about a possible windows relationship,
  but there is no option for a standalone system like that one; so as
  samba is installed to satisfy qemu, these questions completly ignore
  such case and send inappropriate report.

  .... and smbd still crashing on cold boot (standalone desktop)
