[Bug 550022] Re: package samba-common-bin 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Doug Morse]

Hi,

I'm still not completely clear on what the problem is, but
(surprisingly) the following fixed the problem for me.

sudo apt-get purge samba-common-bin
sudo aptitude download samba-common-bin
sudo dpkg -i samba-common-bin_2%3a3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6_i386.deb
sudo rm -f samba-common-bin_2%3a3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6_i386.deb

In other words, installing the samba-common-bin package manually with
dpkg worked just fine, whereas installing via apt-get did not.  Before
finding this work around, I did try the same and similiar approaches
with aptitude / apt- get (i.e., for me at least, it definitely is the
case that, no matter what I did, installing with apt-get or aptitude
failed with the same error, regardless if I was reinstalling or
installing after a remove or after a purge).

HTH,
Doug
