Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
I recently did a configuration change and upgraded to a 320gig HDD requiring that I do a fresh install. On the same system with the 80gig HDD everything worked as expected but since the fresh install the samba and the grub-pc will not configure.

The log shows that many files are missing in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ and the two packages that fail use ucf. I would not be surprised to learn that more stuff is missing from /var. Thus I suspect this is a failure of ucf when some of his files are unexpectedly missing.
Reassigning to ucf for further investigation. At least ucf could generate a proper error message instead of only exiting with an error code.
