I should add I was having trouble installing Samba on this three computer, two printer home LAN [a Dell printer on a win10 machine scotched the more simple option.].
On this particular Ubuntu machine I had 14.04, and in the middle of this thought perhaps taking advantage of the 16.04 upgrade might improve things. Should have known better, because it was while the list of changes was flying by is when apt-port poped the Samba error message that opened this bug. [Wish I had the exact wording.] The upgrade program at the end reported it was aborting because it failed to fetch Http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/libcgi-pm-perl_4.26-1_all.deb, libcgi-pm-perl_0.77-1build1_amd64.deb, and libcgi-pm-fast-per1_2.10-1_all.deb] and returned Ubuntu to its original state, however that original state was 14.04 not 16.04 which is identified on boot. I opened bug #1615771 about the failure to fetch three packages from /libcgi-pm-perl/. I have no idea whether they are pertinent to this bug or vice versa. I'm learning how this site works as well, and just noticed there is a bug attachment list over there on the right. Can I assume they have been read and do not provide any good clues. Thank you for pursuing this confusing state. If you need both snb.conf files or any screen shots of how Smb4k is set up on this machine or anything else that will clarify things for you please ask. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615750 Title: package samba-common 2:4.3.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1615750/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
