[Bug 1015104] [NEW] package winbind 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Joseph S. D. Yao]

Public bug reported:

This is a systemic problem.  Under the previous version I had installed
the "lexmark-inkjet-09-driver" package which installed using a shell tar
script.  Unfortunately the description had one line with just a space in
it.  Not a blank line: a space.  Now, 'dpkg' could report to me that
this particular package "had a blank line" in the Description field of
that particular package.  If it could do that, why couldn't it just
overcome this difficulty?  And the line DID have a space in it!  (I
tried to use '}' and '{' in 'vi' to get to it, and failed.  'Dpkg'
should be able to understand the same thing.)

When I tried to install 12.04 over the previous version, MANY packages
failed to install.  They are now ghost images in the update manager, and
I haven't yet figured how to get them to install.  The user interface is
missing such little things as the logout / lock screeen / reboot menu
and any way to run apps that were not already buttons on the desktop.
Help?  Yes, _I_ know how to find the programs and run them from the
shell, but not everyone in my family is willing to do that!

Thanks!
