[Bug 620102] Re: package samba-common 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[kelmark2180]

  I'm just a follow the instructions, more technical, than most , allot 
less than others guy. I ran the update and recovered through a terminal 
session. I first tried the gui update manager and it was attempting to 
recover/apply the Samba update and the update asked if was OK to 
overwrite my smb.conf. That was a real pita to get out of since my 
screen is only 800 X 600 and the window would not allow a re-size and I 
could not see options nor complete a reply to the window since I had no 
OK or anything to continue on. This was on an old 800 MHz laptop and I 
don't have a screen stretcher.

Thanks for looking, I just did the auto whatever it required when the 
interrupt occurred. I appreciate your efforts and thanks for a great OS 
that has everything I could ever need!
