[Bug 1615750] Re: package samba-common 2:4.3.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[L. P. Luigi Espenlaub]

This is the first time I have tried installing Samba or any LAN for a
long while, so bare with me. I want to help and learn this new stuff
along the way.

By "local samba configuration that might indicate" are you talking about
snb.conf or something beyond that like log files? Where are log files
usually kept and can they be opened with Getedit?

[I found recently that some windows log files at least are tokenized.
Great for crazy wallpaper, not for meaningful access to the data.]

I'm willing to look where you indicate and supply what I find.

Title:
  package samba-common 2:4.3.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script
  returned error exit status 1

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After boot, following message
  System program problem dectected
  clicked 
  report problem.
  followed prompts to get here.

  In process of reporting 
  ubuntu-release-updater-core
  bug

  fetching three libgci files in wrong directory in 
  us.archive.ubuntu.com
  causes partiatal upgrade failure.

  If samba is dependent on perl_426.1 files then this may be the
  problem.

  this system is still in an unstable state.
