[Bug 1859276] [NEW] package samba-common-bin 2:4.11.1+dfsg-3ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: installed samba-common-bin package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

 

Public bug reported:

I attempted to upgrade a system to focal for beta testing. Everything
except Samba upgraded fine and the system rebooted without issue. I
think this error was caused by my aging Samba config, which is probably
pushing 10 years old now and likely has parameters no longer supported
and was designed in my early high school days. Up until this upgrade, it
worked fine without issue.

What I found a little strange is how my outdated config was preventing
it from being properly installed. I was able to get the upgrade
completed by removing Samba, deleting my config file and replacing it
with a blank one, and applying the remaining upgrades. Once that was
done, Samba was installed again. I was able to generate a new Samba
config with Webmin and my systems can access the share just fine.
