[Bug 772868] [NEW] package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Harris Butler]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

Release- 11.04  
Package- samba
What I expected to happen- I expected samba to reinstall and not tell me it failed to install.
What happened instead-  I was in the middle of upgrading to v11.04, and it said that samba failed to install.  I ignored the error (what else was I going to do? I was in the middle of the upgrade) and tried to reinstall samba after restarting my computer.  It still failed to install.  I currently only use it to share my printer on the network, so it's not a real big priority if I can't get samba working again, but I figure that a bug report can't hurt.
