Bug Description

Binary package hint: samba

after launching update-manager, samba-common failed with statuscode 1--all further dependencies failed to install.

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade showed the same behaviour.

the file /etc/samba/smb.conf had been moved (by me, during some tests) to /etc/samba/smb.conf.backup.

After restoring the smb.conf file to its original name, apt-get upgrade was able to upgrade samba-common and all of its dependencies.

Hi Harald,

Thank you for reporting bugs and trying to make Ubuntu better.

Unfortunately the information you are providing is not enough for us to determine what is the exact problem you are experiencing as your Dpkg log is not attached (/var/log/dpkg.log). Attaching the log will help us determine the error you are experienced.

Please attach the requested file which will allow us to move this further. For such reason, I'm marking this bug as incomplete!

Regards,

Hi Harald,

Thank you for providing the logs.

Unfortunately the logs attached don't show any information on why the upgrade has failed. It does, however, show that samba is half configured. Could you please do the following:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

What this command will do is configure or finish configuring the packages that have not been configured. Please let me know the results.
