Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
"sudo apt-get remove samba" resulted in post-removal script returning
error exit status 1. Terminal log included below.
I think that installing samba never completed successfully - "service
samba stop" returned "stop: Unknown instance" despite "service --status-
all" showing that smbd was running. This occurred after installing
samba from terminal using "sudo apt-get install samba", upgrading via
Update Manager, then uninstalling from terminal using "sudo apt-get
remove samba", which resulted in the post-removal script returning error
exit status 1 rather than uninstalling cleanly. (Between installing and
uninstalling I had added gadmin-samba, which was automatically removed
during the remove of samba.)
Version of OS is Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
