package samba 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.8 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Richard C. Steffens]

This is a fresh Mythbuntu installation. After the installation process and the machine restarted I quit the MythTV front end. I saw the update notification and started it. After more than an hour I noticed that it was still sitting there doing nothing. I killed the install process and ended up in this bug notification process. I realized later that I probably needed to shut down the MythTV backend before trying to run the updates, so that may be all this is about. If it is, then it would be useful to have the update process notice when programs are running that would interfere with the update.
