[Bug 1704446] Re: package samba 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Dear Andreas

Many thanks for your help. I did what you suggested and it works
perfectly.  I haven't changed the setup for years and only use it
occasionally, but this is the first time it has come up with an error.

I am indeed not running an AD controller - this is a small home network
comprising a Linux server and a few Windows end-user machines which I use
to support my role as a freelance IT consultant.

Best wishes
Peter
