Code:
apt-get install samba-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
samba-common is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded.
4 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up samba-common (2:3.2.0-4) ...
Not replacing deleted config file /etc/samba/smb.conf
chmod: cannot access `/etc/samba/smb.conf': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing samba-common (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of samba:
samba depends on samba-common (= 2:3.2.0-4); however:
Package samba-common is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of smbclient:
smbclient depends on samba-common (= 2:3.2.0-4); however:
Package samba-common is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing smbclient (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of smbfs:
smbfs depends on samba-common (= 2:3.2.0-4); however:
Package samba-common is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing smbfs (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
samba-common
samba
smbclient
smbfs
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
If you see this problem, you need to:
apt-get remove --purge samba samba-common
Then
apt-get install samba samba-common (plus whatever other packages were removed with samba)
then unfortunately you need to reset your samba passwords and so on.
I'm not sure if this is a generic problem or something that just happened to me, but I put samba samba-common on hold in smxi just in case. |

| I'd recommend to make a backup copy of /etc/samba/smb.conf before to try to upgrade samba. BTW, you should only worry if you have samba as a server. I don't think the client part would have any problem |

| one idea would be to include smb.conf in the backups that smxi makes when it runs |

| since nobody else appears to have this issue, I'm taking it off hold, please post if you have a problem though. |

I had a problem which showed up as unable to share files with virtualbox. Went back to testing and everything is OK.

Should this SID older versions not be put on hold?
I did downgrade to testing and samba does work, but smxi wants to upgrade to SID version again?
Should I manually locked the testing versions to enable smxi to operate until all clear is given on the 'broken' SID versions of samba?
Thanks in advance for advice |

I'm manually 'holding' samba and samba-common for the time being.
