[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

[datanalytics.com]

I tried to manually start nmbd and I got the following:

carlos at kropotkin:samba$ sudo /etc/init.d/nmbd start
[sudo] password for carlos: 
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service nmbd start

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start nmbd
start: Job failed to start
carlos at kropotkin:samba$ service nmbd start
start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.53" (uid=1000 pid=5836 comm="start nmbd ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
carlos at kropotkin:samba$ start nmbd
start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.54" (uid=1000 pid=5849 comm="start nmbd ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))

Does it help?
