[Bug 1676792] Re: package samba 2:4.4.5+dfsg-2ubuntu5.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Markus Weber]

Problem is solved.


I removed my old VMware workstation installation which did not work any
more. Installed the newest version, changed my smb.conf back to have the
listeners on vmnet8 and lo and it seemed to have worked.

Only unclear to me is why it complained initially about not having the
loop back even so it was there and up.

Also still getting an error message during the samba installation which
does not look nice and concerns me:
