[Alexander Jones (alex-weej)]

I got this when upgrading after hosing my /etc/samba/smb.conf thinking it would regenerate a new one.

[Mathias Gug (mathiaz)]

Could you attach the terminal log at the time of the upgrade ?

This bug was fixed in the package samba - 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4

---------------
samba (3.0.28a-1ubuntu4) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Mathias Gug ]
  * debian/samba-common.postinst:
    Fix upgrade from a first installation done with feisty, edgy or dapper.
    (LP: #201059).
  * debian/smb.conf.feisty:
    Add default smb.conf shipped in feisty.

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * When populating the new sambashare group, it's not an error if the
    user simply doesn't exist; test for this case and let the install
    continue instead of aborting. LP: #206036.
