I am a submitter of one of the dupes of this bug. Solution found was to: ----------------------------------------------------- sudo su - cd /etc/rc2.d/ rm S91samba apt-get remove -f samba apt-get -f install apt-get install samba cd /etc/rc3.d/ ln -s ../init.d/samba K09samba update-manager -c -----------------------------------------------------
the samba install complained about linking in rc3.d to /samba, hence the forced link. The run of update manager complained that some packages were out of date possibly due to modification (apologies, I didn't note the exact message), and it gave me the option to perform a dist upgrade, which worked. I can no longer replicate the bug as my system has completed upgrade to 6.10, however I had the same symptoms as the other dupes to this bug (two errors during dist upgrade, second halting the process). I am using the UK servers. If I can be of further help (logs etc), please ask. -- samba prerm script fails on upgrade from dapper->edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/68378 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
