[Bug 254151] Re: samba fails to install prperly after unnistall+deleting smb.conf

[Steve Langasek]

The smb.conf file is owned by the samba-common package, not by the samba
package (which is only the server components).  To force regeneration of
the smb.conf file, you need to use apt-get remove --purge samba-common.

Closing as invalid, the reasons for not regenerating the config file
whenever it's missing or empty are rooted in the Debian and Ubuntu
policy on config files, and this can't be changed without causing more
problems than it solves.

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