[Bug 514963] Re: package samba-common-bin 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Rick Horowitz]

Thanks for your suggestion. Here's what I found:

1. The contents of my nmblookup is:

rship of the /var/lib/mysql directory:\n\n /var/lib/mysql: drwxr-xr-x
mysql    mysql
Type: note
Owners: mysql-server-5.1/nis_warning

Name: mysq


2. I tried running the 2 commands you suggest, and get the following error
with both:

update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/nmblookup corrupt:
invalid status

If you have any more suggestions, I will be happy to try them, however, I
may be out of town for several days due to a family issue.

Thanks,

Rick
