Setting up samba (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.4) ...

...
Importing account for nobody...ok

Importing account for steve...ok

E: Command line option 'g' [from -g] is not known.

dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):

 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 100

Could not find any reference to "-g" in samba.postinst (except in "install", where it works well)...
Can you reproduce the issue on subsequent install tries ?

What is the requested information? I am running a different version of ubuntu now so I can provide no additional detail to this bug.
