[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]

I should add I was having trouble installing Samba on this three
computer, two printer home LAN [a Dell printer on a win10 machine
scotched the more simple option.].

On this particular Ubuntu machine I had 14.04, and in the middle of this
thought perhaps taking advantage of the 16.04 upgrade might improve
things.

Should have known better, because it was while the list of changes was flying by is when apt-port poped the Samba error message that opened this bug. [Wish I had the exact wording.]  
  
The upgrade program at the end reported it was aborting because it failed to fetch 
Http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/libcgi-pm-perl_4.26-1_all.deb, libcgi-pm-perl_0.77-1build1_amd64.deb, and libcgi-pm-fast-per1_2.10-1_all.deb] and returned Ubuntu to its original state, however that original state was 14.04 not 16.04 which is identified on boot.

I opened bug #1615771 about the failure to fetch three packages from
/libcgi-pm-perl/. I have no idea whether they are pertinent to this bug
or vice versa.

I'm learning how this site works as well, and just noticed there is a
bug attachment list over there on the right. Can I assume they have been
read and do not provide any good clues.

Thank you for pursuing this confusing state. If you need both snb.conf
files or any screen shots of how Smb4k is set up on this machine or
anything else that will clarify things for you please ask.

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.
