[Bug 882028] Re: 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')

[Maarten Jacobs]

After completion of the upgrade, reinstalled samba through Synaptic.
Installation completed successfully and resources shared through Samba
(aka printer) can be used by windows platforms.

This therefore appears to be some funky transient issue associated with
the upgrade process, not Samba itself.
