Hello there,

my apologies if I'm dense, but moving the link as you suggested, but
upon upgrade dpkg failed

Preparing to replace samba 1:3.0.30-1 (using .../samba_2%
3a3.0.30-2_amd64.deb) ...
invoke-rc.d: dangling symlink: /etc/rc2.d/K20samba
dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 102
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
invoke-rc.d: dangling symlink: /etc/rc2.d/K20samba
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/samba_2%
3a3.0.30-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):

I then have to remove manually the link, do the upgrade and reinstate
the link (and stop the daemons). Is this the right way to proceed? It
seems a bit cumbersome.

thanks again,
graziano
