[Bug 1645926] Re: package samba 2:4.4.5+dfsg-2ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Joshua Powers]

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

This looks similar to LP: #1610361, however in this case it is fatal as
the service fails to start (unless I'm following the wrong error
message).

On a clean install of Yakkety with the same version of samba (2:4.4.5
+dfsg-2ubuntu5) I also get the message, however it is non-fatal and the
service starts as expected. I dumped in your smb conf that is attached,
and restarted just fine as well.

Since there isn't enough information in your report to differentiate
between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking
this bug as Incomplete. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a
more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this
is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and
then change the bug status back to New.

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
