tota,
>From the files you attached, it looks like after the failure you again
configured samba-common and chose the 'use the maintainer's version'
option. So going forward, the conflict appears to be resolved.
As for the reason why a conflict was found when you upgraded, it appears
that some of your customizations to the file overlapped with changes
made to the default config file between Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.10.
I'm afraid that there's no good solution for this in the general case,
and the solution for this bug is precisely what you did: accept one of
the other options for handling this config file, and then fixing up the
config file by hand if necessary. So I'm marking this bug as 'wontfix'.
Please do continue to file bugs about problems you find in Ubuntu; the
feedback is definitely helpful since we want to make upgrades as smooth
as possible - even though improvement is not practical here.
BTW, it looks like several options fell out of your smb.conf when you
overwrote it with the default version; you may want to add these options
back:
wins support = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix
