Public bug reported: Similar to bug 1693418 but is a newer version of samba.
It occurred when I did: aptitude update aptitude upgrade Using Ubuntu release 17.04 I expected it to install and startup. It didn't. It was working before I did the latest update. peter@gifford:~$ apt-cache policy samba samba: Installed: 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.3 Candidate: 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.3 Version table: *** 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.3 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-updates/main i386 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-security/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2:4.5.4+dfsg-1ubuntu2 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/main i386 Packages ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 Package: samba 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-26.30-generic 4.10.17 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-26-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.4-0ubuntu4.4 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Jul 14 18:03:31 2017 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-09-30 (653 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release i386 (20150218.1) RelatedPackageVersions: dpkg 1.18.10ubuntu2 apt 1.4 SambaClientRegression: Yes SourcePackage: samba Title: package samba 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to zesty on 2017-05-25 (50 days ago) ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-package i386 zesty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704446 Title: package samba 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.3 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/1704446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
