Bug Description
I upgraded on Mon Oct 18 (West Australian time) using a Default Upgrade. I get
the following error:
Preconfiguring packages ...

Preparing to replace samba 3.0.7-1ubuntu5 (using

Something is causing /etc/init.d/samba to be deleted. A number of users are
reporting this, but it clearly seems to be a problem external to the samba package.
gnome-system-tools seems to have a checkbox for "enable Windows networking";
perhaps it is deleting this file?
