Ubuntu 6.06->6.10 upgrade crashes in Samba

[mench]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Upgrading 6.06 to 6.10 on a Lenovo T60 using the alternate image and the command 'gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"'.

All appears well until I get a popup box with "Could not install '/cdrom//pool/mail/s/samba/samba_3.0.00-1ubuntu4_i386.deb' and the text 'subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 102' in the text area of the popup.

The traceback:

Bug 48082 appears to be the same.

I solved this problem by executing the following shell commands:

    sudo -s
    rm /etc/rc3.d/K09samba /etc/rc2.d/K09samba
    apt-get -f install
    apt-get remove samba
    apt-get install samba
    gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

As a bonus, the cdromupgrade remembered the files it had already downloaded and finished up in about 30 minutes!

The only bad thing I see so far is a slight cursor display weirdness, which I'll track down.

I recommend that the Dapper->Edgy upgrade instructions be changed to:

    sudo rm -f /etc/rc3.d/K09samba /etc/rd2.d/K09samba
    gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"
