[Sergei Vorobyov <svorobyov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

A routine

aptitude update
aptitude upgrade

erased the smb.conf file; the definitions of my all shares simply
disappeared.

There were no question asked, but I saw (on the screen) samba packages
configured and the samba server restarted

1.

root@fpu:/etc/samba# lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:	14.04

3.

I expected my /etc/samba/smb.conf preserved

4.

It was overwritten by the default

2.
