Public bug reported: I have normally working samba package in natty, but on upgrade to oneric I got the errors.
After upgrade is broken, "dpkg --configure -a" shows all ok. I solve the problem via aptitude install kubuntu-desktop: $ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
