G'day Jelmer,

I have followed all the advices given here, except for #12, however, I
am having the same problem as everyone else here had.

First, I was getting the following error:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/samba4.postinst: 14: /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba4.postinst: 
/usr/share/samba/setoption.pl: Permission denied
So I made it an executable. Interestingly enough it does not have execute bit 
set by default. Nevertheless, the actual problem persists.

Secondly, I started the error as mentioned in this thread many a times and for 
which you suggested a solution.
ProvisioningError: guess_names: 'realm =' was not specified in supplied 
/etc/samba/smb.conf.  Please remove the smb.conf file and let provision 
generate it

Well, removing smb.conf didn't really help, as it gave birth to yet another 
error. This is more of a vicious circle.
ERROR: Invalid smb.conf
unable to open smb.conf at /usr/share/samba/setoption.pl line 22.

Line 22 is basically trying to open /etc/samba/smb.conf
If the file is present, then Provisioning fails, if it is not, then 
setoption.pl fails.

A little info on my system:
Ubuntu 12.04
Samba version to be installed: 4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-4ubuntu2

I will give #12 a try and see if that helps, however, IMHO I would
rather prefer a solution than a workaround :-)

Thanks and Regards,
Abhi
