[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#394086: apt-get upgrade via ssh fails on samba/swat

[Steffen Grunewald]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.23c-2
Severity: normal


Using "ssh apt-get upgrade" to the remote machine, I get

Setting up samba (3.0.23c-2) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Readline
debconf: (This frontend requires a controlling tty.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Teletype
Couldn't reopen stdin(/dev/tty): No such device or address at
/usr/sbin/update-inetd line 29.
dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 6
 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of swat:
  swat depends on samba (= 3.0.23c-2); however:
    Package samba is not configured yet.
    dpkg: error processing swat (--configure):
     dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
     Errors were encountered while processing:
      samba
       swat
       E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Of course, logging in and re-running apt-get upgrade fixes the
problem...
