[Bug 1797721] Re: package winbind 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.17 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The winbind service logged this error:
Job for winbind.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status winbind.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript winbind, action "start" failed.

Unfortunately the messages are truncated, but it seems that you have
incorrect permissions set in /var/log/samba. The full error can be
displayed by running "sudo systemctl status winbind", or by inspecting
/var/log/samba/log*.


The /var/log/samba directory structure should look like this:
    35114      9 drwxr-x---   3 root     adm             8 Jul 11 18:52 /var/log/samba/
    36687      1 drwx------   4 root     root            4 Jul 11 18:44 /var/log/samba/cores
    36688      1 drwx------   2 root     root            2 Jul 11 18:44 /var/log/samba/cores/smbd
    36698      1 drwx------   2 root     root            2 Jul 11 18:44 /var/log/samba/cores/nmbd

Title:
  package winbind 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.17 failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script
  returned error exit status 1

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Software Updater used to work perfectly but now it fails with the message in the summary.
  When Software Updater informs me there are updates I now use 'Ubuntu Software' to do them as it completes without failing.
  Can I remove Samba and all its components and reinstall it?
  I have an NTFS partition which I can still read from Ubuntu.

  I am using Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS.
