Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba I'm not sure what happened here. I did an upgrade and something in samba errored. The terminal froze and I restarted it. I was then told that I couldn't get a lock on apt/dpkg. I ran these: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get install -f It allowed some of the updates to finish, but not all. Samba, winbind and man db (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/man- db/+bug/640584) are all having problems and created apport crashes. There were also various messages about dependencies being 1 ubuntu version behind what was required, the debian versions were the same (eg. packagex.x.x-xubuntu1 and packagex.x.xubuntu2) My dpkg is currently broken and I don't know why. I can not run dpkg at all now. I get this message. dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0018' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding' Running that in google gives me error reports from debian mailing lists regarding bugs involving a lack of freespace. My system has 4.8GB free and the bug concerned was fixed 2 years ago. I am running a system from upgraded lucid, not a fresh install. laur...@ursus:~$ lsb_release -rd' > - terminal hangs ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: winbind 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-20.29-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-20-generic i686 AptOrdering: samba: Configure winbind: Configure Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Sep 17 02:10:19 2010 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20100224.1) RelatedPackageVersions: nautilus 1:2.31.92-0ubuntu1 gvfs 1.6.3-0ubuntu2 SambaClientRegression: Yes SourcePackage: samba Title: package winbind 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-package i386 maverick ubuntu-unity -- package winbind 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640588 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
