[Bug 382034] Re: Was attempting to install Samba

[abqsteve]

Fixed.

In a (misguided?) attempt to do a clean install of samba, I archived all
the files in the /etc/samba directory into a zip file.  With those files
in the zip file, the install showed the above error.  After
uncompressing those files and re-running the apt-get install, the
install worked and the samba demon started correctly.  The files were:

steve at zippy:/etc/samba$ ll
total 72
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    30 2009-05-30 20:28 dhcp.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     8 2008-06-30 09:56 gdbcommands
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15251 2009-05-30 20:58 old-samba-files.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12552 2009-05-25 11:43 smb.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12551 2009-05-16 19:07 smb.conf~
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12416 2009-05-14 19:16 smb.conf-original

I haven't taken the time to figure out which file the daemon was looking
for but I think we can chalk this one up to user error.  =)
