[Bug 312449] Re: samba-common fails to upgrade if smb.conf is deleted

[Thierry Carrez]

Yes, the following in samba-common.postinst:
  ucf --three-way --debconf-ok "$NEWFILE" "$CONFIG"
  ucfr samba-common "$CONFIG"
  chmod a+r "$CONFIG"
results in:
  Not replacing deleted config file /etc/samba/smb.conf
  chmod: cannot access `/etc/samba/smb.conf': No such file or directory

If the file is deleted, it should probably reinstall a pristine version,
rather than just "Not replacing" it and letting chmod fail :)

It's still something that shouldn't happen (/etc conffiles should be
removed by purge, not manually) but given the number of updates that
fail for this reason a more graceful handling of this corner case is
definitely wanted.
