[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#545769: samba: conflict on upgrade

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.4.0-4
Severity: normal


When I tried to upgrade samba, I received the following error:

Unpacking replacement samba ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/samba_2%3a3.4.0-4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/etc/pam.d/samba', which is also in package samba-common 2:3.4.0-3

I was able to fiddle with it in aptitude and get it to upgrade alright, but
it appeared that there was a conflict during the the upgrade process.
