package samba 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 139

Binary package hint: samba

This error occured when I did not the daily apt-get update/upgrade. I also got some error with post installation script of apt-get and that might be the root cause of this error.

This doesnt appear to be a samba bug:
