package samba4 4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-4ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 126

[chris meyers]

apt-get install samba4 resulted in a series of errors. This is on a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 lts. Yesterday I had tried to setup a samba4 server on a semi-fresh install and encountered this same errors. Today I had the opportunity to install Ubuntu on a new computer and decided to install samba4 as one of the first things that I did (after apt-get update and apt-get upgrade).
