Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
The relevant code from samba-common.postinst is: # Clean up the now-empty dir which our conffile was previously in, # since it wasn't empty at the time dpkg could automatically remove it # for us. if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 2:4.1.4+dfsg-2~ then rmdir -p --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d fi and the postinst error is: rmdir: failed to remove ā/etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.dā: No such file or directory It seems to me that the postinst is missing a test for the directory first, and the code is still present in Debian VCS master. This needs a more detailed look. ** Changed in: spamassassin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1473070 Title: sa-update fails to run To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spamassassin/+bug/1473070/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
