[Pkg-freeipa-devel] Bug#1012593: freeipa-client-samba: "ipa-client-samba --uninstall" fails: No such file or directory: '/var/lib/samba/lock'

[Jochen Kellner]

Package: freeipa-client-samba
Version: 4.9.8-1~bpo11+1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I had to clean up a broken run of ipa-client-samba so I could
try again.  Calling "ipa-client-samba --uninstall" yields:

:/etc/samba# ipa-client-samba --uninstall
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/ipa-client-samba", line 15, in <module>
    sys.exit(ipa_client_samba.run())
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ipaclient/install/ipa_client_samba.py", line 537, in run
    uninstall(fstore, statestore, options)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ipaclient/install/ipa_client_samba.py", line 455, in uninstall
    for tdb_file in os.listdir(smbpath)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/samba/lock'

On fedora that directory is part of samba-common - but the debian packages
don't have that directory.

I've just created that directory and "ipa-client-samba --uninstall"
finished ok (and leaves the manually created directory alone).

That looks like the packages needs different paths on Debian.
