[Paul Slootman]

Package: samba-common
Version: 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u1
Severity: important

Upon upgrade, the postinst fails with the following message:

Adding "|| true" to the "rmdir -p" line helps.

Perhaps add some logic to not to try to remove the directory if the
parent doesn't exist.


Thanks,
