[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#464105: samba: lenny/sid install script fails (leaving unresolvable configuration)

[Kris Popendorf]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.28-2
Severity: normal

I did an aptitude safe-upgrade and got the latest samba, however the
samba install failed with the following error:
(Reading database ... 333387 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace samba 3.0.28-2 (using .../samba_3.0.28-2+b1_amd64.deb) ...

 /var/cache/apt/archives/samba_3.0.28-2+b1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

There appears to be a syntax error in the install scripts.
So now I can't install it, and I can't remove it, leaving me with an unstable
dpkg configuration. =(
