Package: samba Version: 3.0.28-2 Severity: normal I did an aptitude safe-upgrade and got the latest samba, however the samba install failed with the following error: (Reading database ... 333387 files and directories currently installed.)

There appears to be a syntax error in the install scripts. So now I can't install it, and I can't remove it, leaving me with an unstable dpkg configuration. =( -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.8 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages samba depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.19 Debian configuration management sy ii libacl1 2.2.45-1 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 1:2.4.39-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.40.5-2 common error description library ii libcupsys2 1.3.5-1+b1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgnutls13 2.0.4-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.3~beta1-2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30.dfsg-13.5 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam-modules 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.99.7.1-5 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii logrotate 3.7.1-3 Log rotation utility ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii procps 1:3.2.7-6 /proc file system utilities ii samba-common 3.0.28-2+b1 Samba common files used by both th ii update-inetd 4.28 inetd.conf updater ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime samba recommends no packages. -- debconf information: samba/tdbsam: false * samba/generate_smbpasswd: true * samba/run_mode: daemons -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
