[Bug 660925] Re: package samba-common-bin 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Clint Byrum]

Hi Rick, thanks for taking the time to submit this report and work with
us to make Ubuntu better!

The most important part of the error message is this:

Setting up samba-common-bin (2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.2) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/bin/nmblookup.samba3 doesn't exist.
dpkg: error processing samba-common-bin (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

The file /usr/bin/nmblookup.samba3 is part of the samba-common-bin
package, so if it is missing, something has gone terribly wrong between
installing it and running the post-install script.

You may want to try re-downloading the package directly and forcibly
installing it with dpkg:

wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/samba-common-bin_3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i samba-common-bin_3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Please give that a try and let us know here what happens.

Marking Incomplete pending response from rick leach.
