[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#616075: samba-common: install/upgrade should not depend on the presence of /etc/samba/smb.conf

[Teodor]

Package: samba-common
Version: 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3squeeze2
Severity: normal

Hi,

The latest security upgrades for 'samba' cannot be installed due to missing
'smb.conf' file. I think post-install should check this.

Thanks
