Comment 6 for bug 259609

Same here, using Debian Lenny.
I messed up smb.conf, so I decided reinstall samba thinking it would give me a fresh smb.conf, and it didn't, same messed up file was there.
Then I removed samba again, removed the entire /etc/samba folder, and reinstalled samba giving a post-installation error "nmbd failed to start", and /etc/samba folder wasn't created.

After reading this post, tried removing also samba-common, though samba-common isn't a dependency of samba package. Bad idea, now I can't install samba-common again because /etc/samba/smb.conf doesn't exists and obviously it won't create it.
So which package originally created /etc/samba folder and configuration files?? Or how can I make this folder and conf files get back?
