libpam-smbpass needs the /var/lib/samba directory to exist (even empty). You can also reproduce simply by installing libpam-smbpass without installing samba...
easy fix: make libpam-smbpass depend on samba better fix: create /var/lib/samba in samba-common.dirs and transfer purging of that directory from samba.postrm to samba-common.postrm -- Purging samba breaks login (pam_smbpass.so segfaults) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
