[Bug 1451322] Re: upgrade 10.04 to 14.04 failed - package samba-common 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Hello,

sorry for the lack of responses in this bug.

The postinst code in samba-common still doesn't check if the directory
exists before attempting to remove it, so the bug is still there, but it
only kicks in if upgrading from a package older than 4.1.4.

I tried reproducing the problem with a precise-to-trusty do-release-
upgrade, with samba installed, but it didn't happen. Maybe coming from
Lucid something else triggers the bug, but Lucid is EOL. Technically
Precise is EOL too, but there is the possibility of using precise-esm
(https://ubuntu.com/esm), so if this happens when upgrading Precise to
Trusty, we can probably fix it.

I will mark this bug as incomplete pending a confirmation that it
happens when upgrading Precise to Trusty.


** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
