package samba 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: sous-processus script post-installation installé tué par le signal (Complété)

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Binary package hint: samba

After having the samba postinst script run and do nothing for well over an hour, I killed it with a signal 15 in order to unjam an upgrade.

This had been running for a long, long time (killed circa 17:45 local time) with no indication that anything was happening.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Just ran 'dpkg --configure -a' after the end of the upgrade process and the postinst script ran without issues.

Just hit the same issue on an upgrade from Lucid to Maverick (32bit) and also killed the process.
