Hi, I'm still not completely clear on what the problem is, but (surprisingly) the following fixed the problem for me. sudo apt-get purge samba-common-bin sudo aptitude download samba-common-bin sudo dpkg -i samba-common-bin_2%3a3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6_i386.deb sudo rm -f samba-common-bin_2%3a3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6_i386.deb In other words, installing the samba-common-bin package manually with dpkg worked just fine, whereas installing via apt-get did not. Before finding this work around, I did try the same and similiar approaches with aptitude / apt- get (i.e., for me at least, it definitely is the case that, no matter what I did, installing with apt-get or aptitude failed with the same error, regardless if I was reinstalling or installing after a remove or after a purge).

Hi, For the developers / technically-minded, I should definitely note: The problem was pretty clearly related to the file /usr/bin/nmblookup.samba3 not being present. Indeed, after installing samba-common-bin with aptitude / apt-get (which always failed, as aforementioned), running dpkg -L samba-common-bin only showed 4 lines: /. /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/net.samba3 Having installed samba-common-bin using dpkg (as aforementioned), dpkg -L samba-common-bin now shows 27 lines: /. /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/net.samba3 /usr/bin/nmblookup.samba3 /usr/bin/smbpasswd /usr/bin/testparm.samba3 /usr/share /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man1/testparm.samba3.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/nmblookup.samba3.1.gz /usr/share/man/man5 /usr/share/man/man5/smbpasswd.5.gz /usr/share/man/man5/lmhosts.5.gz /usr/share/man/man5/smb.conf.5.gz /usr/share/man/man7 /usr/share/man/man7/samba.7.gz /usr/share/man/man8 /usr/share/man/man8/net.samba3.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/smbpasswd.8.gz /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/samba-common-bin /usr/share/doc/samba-common-bin/copyright /usr/share/doc/samba-common-bin/NEWS.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/samba-common-bin/README.build.gz /usr/share/doc/samba-common-bin/changelog.Debian.gz I can say for certain that, with a failed apt-get / aptitude install attempt, the file /usr/bin/net.samba3 *was* present and /usr/bin/nmblookup.samba3 was *not* present. I cannot speak definitively about any other files, but my sense was that *only* net.samba3 was installed, somehow nmblookup.samba3 failed to install (w/o error, however), and then the next step in the install process was to update alternatives for nmblookup, which naturally failed because nmblookup.samba3 was indeed not present, at which point the entire install stopped and nothing else was installed.
