[Bug 1610361] Re: /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on samba-ad-dc.service: No such file or directory

[Nish Aravamudan]

@dino99: as Christian mentioned, this is not a fatal error, these are
warnings that one of the two ways that the package is using to ensure
the specific service is masked id not succeed. Presumably the other one
did. As your 2) points out (I believe), there is no ill-effect in the
installation of the package itself and the service is (presumably)
correctly masked.

@martin-suc: I'm unsure why you changed the status of this bug? As of
right now after Christian's debugging, it is not clear if there is any
issue here.

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on samba-
  ad-dc.service: No such file or directory

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is an error seen with that version upgrade; so the apport
  questions can be ignored as this is an upgrade issue, not a using
  problem.

  Unpacking samba (2:4.4.5+dfsg-2ubuntu3) over (2:4.4.5+dfsg-2ubuntu1)
  ...

  ....

  Setting up samba (2:4.4.5+dfsg-2ubuntu3) ...
  Failed to preset unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service is masked.
  /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on samba-ad-dc.service: No such file or directory

  note: the previous 4.4.5+dfsg-2ubuntu1 upgrade over 4.3.9+dfsg-
  0ubuntu1 was clean. These two upgrades has been made on the same
  session (no reboot); so this can be related if systemd expect some
  activation(s) not made by the previous upgrade.
