Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information.

The error is:

Setting up samba-common (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6) ...
dpkg: error processing samba-common (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Please include the information requested at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSamba#samba-pkg-fail.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

Hi,

I am not sure what further information you would like.

The error occurred while I was carrying out a routine update.

I was not in the process of doing anything else, as i always take the
updates when available and before starting any work.

The error appeared at the end of the update process.

Kind Regards

Steve
