Public bug reported:

This is a bug report about errors during the upgrade process. I don't
know whether or not my samba installation was working immediately before
the upgrade; the windows box that was intended to be a client died and
has not been replaced. Don't believe my answers to the forced questions.

***

My ubuntu system locks up regularly. Bugs I've reported about this get
closed for inattention, after being ignored, and queries about how to do
basic debugging get the same treatment, so I just power cycle whenever
it happens again.

This time the lock up happened while the GUI upgrade-everything-to-
latest tool was running.

When I power cycled the box to recover, the system was unusable -
flashing "system problem detected" popups, none staying stable long
enough to respond.

ssh + "sudo apt-get update" + "sudo apt-get upgrade" pointed me to "sudo
dpkg --configure -a"

That command reported numerous errors - I don't know which of them are
"normal" for this system, but hidden by the GUI, and which are new.

But it got the system semi-usable from the GUI, so now I'm clicking on
"yes, report it" for the many pop-ups, of which this is one.

FWIW, samba is one of the ones "dpkg --reconfigure -a" complained about.
