[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#669048: samba4: fails to install: python TypeError in postinst

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: samba4
Version: 4.0.0~alpha19+dfsg1-3
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package samba4.
  (Reading database ... 8448 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking samba4 (from .../samba4_4.0.0~alpha19+dfsg1-3_amd64.deb) ...
  Setting up samba4 (4.0.0~alpha19+dfsg1-3) ...
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/samba/setoption.py", line 35, in <module>
      elif inglobal and re.match(r"^(\s*)" + key + r"(\s*)=.*$"):
  TypeError: match() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
  dpkg: error processing samba4 (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1


cheers,

Andreas
