package samba 2:3.5.6~dfsg-4ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1

This might be related to my fix for bug 596064.

What does 'testparm' output for you? Do you have 'disable netbios' set?

bigon@fornost:~$ sudo testparm -s|grep netbios
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

no, nothing

Does either of the following commands return non-zero?

testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios' 2>/dev/null
install -o root -g root -m 755 -d /var/run/samba

bigon@fornost:~$ testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios' 2>/dev/null
No
bigon@fornost:~$ echo $?
0
bigon@fornost:~$ install -o root -g root -m 755 -d /var/run/samba
bigon@fornost:~$ echo $?
0
bigon@fornost:~$ sudo install -o root -g root -m 755 -d /var/run/samba
[sudo] password for bigon:
bigon@fornost:~$ echo $?

doesn't look like

Thanks for the feedback. I managed to reproduce it, preparing a patch now.

The attached patch fixes the issue for me.
