[Bug 1354995] Re: package samba-libs (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

Thu Sep 11 15:28:38 UTC 2014

Updated to Ubuntu 14.04 today. Installation baulked. Error ambiguous but
suggested it might be a 3rd party repository but none were enabled.

Alternatively it suggested that I run "sudo apt install -f" in terminal.
The following was the error...

~$ sudo apt-get install -f

Title:
  package samba-libs (not installed) failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I really do not know what program had the problem.  I get an error
  message when I log into my Ubuntu account.  So, I just tried to update
  software, as usual, but got a message that it could not do it.  So, I
  do not know how to solve this problem.

  The Software Updater error says, 
  The Package System is Broken.  Check if you are using third party repositories.  If so disable them since they are a common source of problems.  Furthermore run the following command in a terminal: apt-get install -f.

  Then in addition to this there is another pop-up window that says,
  Crash Report
  The application software updater has closed unexpectedly.
  Send an error report to fix this problem
  Ignore future problems of this program version.

  So, now what should I do?
