package samba 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Lohith]

Binary package hint: samba

Keeps complaining the samba has failed to install/upgrade properly. I reinstalled samba from scratch and the problem disappeared. It again showed up when i installed the update on the next day. Even though it says it failed to install, it seems to me that I can connect to my ubuntu folders from windows machines. Weirdly, the mapped drive in windows appears in red (even after refreshing) although I can connect to the mapped drive. Seems samba is messed up with 11.04?

I've just successfully installed the samba4 package. There were a lot of
warnings about unknown parameters. Presumably Samba 4 objecting to Samba
3 syntax in smb.conf or is there another cause?

I reinstalled Natty as a fresh install for various reasons, and it has
worked fine for me since. I presume it was an issue with my configuration
file but I don't know for sure. Anyways, it's been working fine since I did
the fresh install, but it was giving me problems when I had Natty on as an
upgrade.
