Bug Description

Binary package hint: samba

It appears that during an upgrade from version 9 to 10 the samba-common install script was lost. I am a neophyte and have no idea as to how I can correct this error - system still works despite the error.

Looks like something/someone broke the nmblookup alternatives setting. I'd recommend purging the samba (including samba-common) packages, clearing /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/nmblookup and try to reinstall samba.
