[Bug 1206547] Re: package winbind (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 255

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

It looks like you're missing the /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering file,
which should have been created by the sysv-rc package. Please could you
check if you have this file? What does the output of the command "dpkg-
query -W sysv-rc" give you?

Assuming you haven't changed anything fundamental about the init system
on your system, you might be able to fix the problem by typing "sudo
touch /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering" at a Terminal, and then "sudo
apt-get -f install".

But this does seem like a local configuration problem to me, rather than
a bug.

If this is indeed a local configuration problem, you can find pointers
to get help for this sort of problem here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it
helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem,
explain why you believe this is a bug rather than a problem specific to
your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
