[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#558116: samba fails to reconfigure via 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow samba'

[Massimo Manghi]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.4.3-1
Severity: important


trying to reconfigure samba via the debian dpkg-reconfigure script 
fails because of a (perhaps) trivial mistake in the way the stream editor 
'sed' is used.


dpkg-reconfigure -plow samba
Stopping Samba daemons: nmbd smbd.
sed: -e expression #1, char 140: unknown option to `s'
