[Bug 786040] Re: package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Clint Byrum]

Hello r0nni3, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report!

Your system seems very broken, as the basic utility 'grep' which is used
throughout scripting in the system is missing:

Setting up samba (2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.2) ...
/etc/init.d/smbd: 85: grep: not found
start: Job is already running: smbd
invoke-rc.d: initscript smbd, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit sta


Please try

sudo apt-get install grep --reinstall

Closing as Invalid.

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
