Bug Description

Binary package hint: samba

Release- 11.04
Package- samba
What I expected to happen- I expected samba to reinstall and not tell me it failed to install.
What happened instead- I was in the middle of upgrading to v11.04, and it said that samba failed to install. I ignored the error (what else was I going to do? I was in the middle of the upgrade) and tried to reinstall samba after restarting my computer. It still failed to install. I currently only use it to share my printer on the network, so it's not a real big priority if I can't get samba working again, but I figure that a bug report can't hurt.
