upgrade 6.06 to 6.10 process fails when installing samba

[Tim Cheeseright]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Acer laptop running 6.06; run
gksu 'update-manager -c -d'
process halts with popup window
"Could not install '/var/cache/apt/archives/samba_3.0.22-1ubuntu4_i386.deb'
  The upgrade aborts now. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.
 subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 102"
Will attach files as secnodary process as text editor now crashes!

I think that I fixed this by:
cd /etc/rc2.d
rm S91samba
ln -s ../init.d/samba S91samba

then
apt-get install -f
works. Can't remember how or why this works but then you probably know why better than I do.

I tried Tim's fix after getting error during upgrade from 6.06LTS to 6.10:
:
"Could not install '/var/cache/apt/archives/samba_3.0.22-1ubuntu4.2_i386.deb'
The upgrade aborts now. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.
subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 102"

Here's the results:
etc/rc2.d$> sudo apt-get install -f
jtonti@jtonti-ubuntu2:/etc/rc2.d$ sudo apt-get install -f
