broken package samba
Hi community!
I've got an broken package (samba) and i cannot fix the problem with Synaptic nor "sudo get-apt install -f".
I sent you the messages sent by the system.
When i try to upgrade samba with Synaptic, this message appears:
E: /var/cache/
And in terminal:
/var/cache/
E: Sub process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
(And that's all folks!)
Can you help me?
TY in advance to the best community on the earth and beyond!
Hal

Thank you, dear Alan, after doing dpkg --configure samba, I obtained:
dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):
package samba is already installed and configured
Errors were encountered while processing:
samba
It gives to you some light?
Thank you again!

The "prerm" script for samba is located at /var/lib/
For some reason, the package is failed to correctly stop the samba service. To try to solve this, I would do the following:
sudo dpkg -P samba samba-common smbclient
sudo rm -f /etc/rc*.d/*samba /etc/init.d/samba
Then see if re-installing samba will work correctly:
sudo apt-get install samba

I get the same error, but the solution above didn't work for me. Any ideas on how to resolve the problem.

It worked for me (with some tweaking) and I was able to re-install Samba successfully. I am totally new to ubuntu/linux so I don’t understand why it worked but using Kees Cook’s solution
sudo dpkg -P samba samba-common smbclient
sudo rm -f /etc/rc*.d/*samba /etc/init.d/samba
The first command line worked fine. I didn’t realise the second line actually comprises of two commands (like I said – new to linux) and my machine didn’t like the ‘–f ‘ switch either (invalid option -- /)
So I tried
sudo rm /etc/rc*.d/*samba
then
sudo rm /etc/init.d/samba
and it worked. Now I’m able to upgrade the system again – brilliant – many thanks.

Thanks!!!!!!

I'm having a tough time - this does not work for me. I so completely hosed up a Samba install, but after following the directions I get
invoke-rc.d: initscript samba, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
samba
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Any ideas?
