Title:
  package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 failed to install/upgrade:
  ErrorMessage: package samba is not ready for configuration  cannot
  configure (current status `half-installed')

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:

  for firefox. Some of your configuration settings may not work

  ----------------------------

  Could not install the upgrades


  The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A
  recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).

  after reboot, computer hung before logon, had messages about waiting
  for network.

  After long time, eventually got to complete boot & logon using info at
  #24 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/811441

  This was a very nasty surprise - to be unable to use computer for 1
  day+ while figuring out how to fix this (I hope - have not been game
  to reboot yet - as many people say this fix does not survive a
  reboot). Do keep up all the great work, I really like Ubuntu (just
  swithcing form M$), but this one is a nasty show stopper!!
