[Bug 272812] Re: package samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[ptn2008]

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: samba
- 
- I renamed the files smb.conf and smbusers to smb.con_ and smbuse_ in the
- /etc/samba directory. I did not touch the gdbcommands file. No other
- file was in the directory.
- 
- Then I ran
- sudo apt-get remove samba
- sudo apt-get clean
- sudo apt-get install samba
- 
- at the install, the following occurred:
- 
- [from screen]
- 
+ Reading package lists... Done
+ Building dependency tree       
+ Reading state information... Done
  The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
-   python-zopeinterface python-twisted-core python-libuser python-pygame
-   python-pyogg python-pyvorbis python-editobj libsdl-ttf2.0-0
-   python-cerealizer libuser1 libcal3d12 python-soya python-tofu
-   libsdl-mixer1.2 libode0debian1 simgear0 plib1.8.4c2 python-twisted-bin
-   libsdl-image1.2
+   libntfs-3g12
  Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
  Suggested packages:
    openbsd-inetd inet-superserver smbldap-tools
  The following NEW packages will be installed:
    samba

- 
- [end screen]
- 
- in the /etc/samba the files I renamed have not been recreated while a
- new file was added - smbpasswd. It was not there before.
- 
- All this was done to try to reset the samba installation to a virgin
- state. I have solved the problem by renaming the backed up files back
- again.
