[Bug 1651660] Re: package python-samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Hi Kim,

sorry for being unclear. I meant for people affected by this bug to try
to run this command, which is what the package does in its post
installation procedure:

pycompile -p python-samba

On a clean xenial install, that does not fail. If it fails for someone,
it means a non-standard python version is somehow being invoked.
