Package: samba
Version: 2:3.6.6-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,
my system won't boot.

Simply removing the dhcp hook installed by samba makes the system
bootable again.

There is already a bug about this filed against systemd with more details
(see #635777). For alot more details, talk to Michael Biebl which knows
this problem very well by now (since I've bugged him about it many times).

I'm filing this bug against samba because the systemd maintainers thinks
this should be solved on the samba side, was once solved on the samba
side (by dropping the hook) and then reintroduced again.

Michael Biebl kindly suggested multiple ways this can be solved easily
if keeping the hook is really desired:


22:22 < mbiebl> 1/ not reload if not running
22:23 < mbiebl> 2/ not reload during boot/shutdown
22:23 < mbiebl> 3/ not reload if the actual configuration hasn't changed
22:23 < mbiebl> it seems to me, 2/ and 3/ are bugs on its own 
22:23 < mbiebl> which should be fixed in any case


(I tried 1/ by changing /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/samba so instead of:
        [ -x /etc/init.d/samba ] && /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d samba reload
it said:
        [ -x /etc/init.d/samba ] && invoke-rc.d samba status && 
/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d samba reload
... which worked, but printed an ugly multi-line warning during shutdown
that said "... samba status was called during shutdown".)

The root bug is a bug in that init system.  There's no reason individual
services should be expected to work around bugs in alternative init systems.
Closing this bug as invalid.
