[Bug 579736] [NEW] upgrade from hardy to lucid uninstalls samba

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I upgraded from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS. This is a fairly standard install
because all I need to do on this box is apache, mysql, samba, and sshd.

I had customized the config files of samba, (no errors in the config!)
and I guess because of that when I later tried to upgrade, it failed.

Steps to reproduce:

-install hardy
-install samba
-set up a few samba shares
-update all packages to latest
-upgrade from hardy to lucid
-reboot


Before I managed to fix:

dpkg --list | grep samba

I usually to all package management through aptitude because it's more flexible for someone who does not want to memorize syntax and wants to ensure dependency issues are resolved. When I tried to search for samba in aptitude, it just found a bunch of other crap instead.

How I fixed:

sudo apt-get install samba smbfs

Then it magically worked as it had been working before.
