[Bug 820540] Re: package samba-common 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Ursula Junque]

Hi Emmanuel!

First of all, thanks for your time reporting this bug.

Have you tried what the error message suggests? That would be:
 $ sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf
 $ sudo dpkg --configure -a

It seems the error is because the file is missing, as you said before.
In this case it would be a local issue, not a package one. Can you
confirm that please by trying to run the above commands?

Thanks!
