I managed to progress my upgrade by killing the 'start' proces executed by samba.postinst. Opened a terminal, used `ps --ppid` to find the children of the upgrade process (and their children, and so on; would have used pstree but it didn't seem to like me) and discovered that it was the process holding things up.
The install hasn't finished yet, so I can't tell you whether everything's working, but it looks fine. -- Samba process gets hung on maverick update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/639768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
