[Bug 975519] Re: package samba-common-bin 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Hi Jim, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report.

It looks like something got corrupted on your system:

update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/testparm corrupt:
line not terminated while trying to read status

Can you please include that file? It should look something like this:

$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/testparm 
auto
/usr/bin/testparm
testparm.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/testparm.1.gz

/usr/bin/testparm.samba3
10
/usr/share/man/man1/testparm.samba3.1.gz

Marking incomplete pending response.
