[Bug 779970] Re: package samba-common 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

The DpkgTerminalLog.gz attached has this as the error:

Setting up samba-common (2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1) ...

dpkg: error processing samba-common (--configure):

This looks like a bug in debconf, not samba, so redirecting as such.

** Package changed: samba (Ubuntu) => debconf (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- package samba-common 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128
+ Use of uninitialized value $reply in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Passthrough.pm line 66
