[Bug 993660] Re: package samba-common 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.4 failed to install/upgrade: unable to open '/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/samba.dpkg-new': Too many levels of symbolic links

[arnuschky]

I figured it out:

On my system, dhcp3 was a symlink pointing to dhcp (dunno why). Samba
expects two different directories here.

What I did:

cd /etc
rm dhcp3
cp -r dhcp dhcp3
apt-get -f install

Works like a charm. Samba puts a script file in /etc/dhcp/dhclient-
enter-hooks.d and links to that file from /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-
hooks.d (now we know why it didn't work before) Drawback is that there
are now duplicated dhcp config files, which seems rather unclean to me.

Can someone enlighten me what the directory structure is supposed to be?
