[Bug 791944] Re: package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

It would appear that if the directories /var/lib/samba or
/var/cache/samba have anything other that 0755 permissions nmbd will
fail to start as the testparm call in /etc/init/nmbd.conf returns a non-
zero error code (1).

It would be good to get confirmation that this is the issue (I have
reproduced artificially but looking at the number of duplicates against
this bug report that should not be a problem).
