[Bug 576307] [NEW] error (bashism?) in postinst

[Øystein Viggen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

With a probably "non standard" /etc/passwd et al:

Adding group `sambashare' (GID 113) ...
Done.
Adding user `root' to group `sambashare' ...
Adding user root to group sambashare
Done.
adduser: The user `rootsh' does not exist.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.postinst: 118: !getent: not found
dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

This change seems to fix the error:
