Source: samba
Version: 2.4.5.12+dfsg-2+deb9u2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Installing Samba on stretch with only loopback interface present results
in configuration error post install.

Installation errors:
dpkg: error processing package samba (--configure)

nmbd.service times out with status:
"nmbd: No local IPv4  non-loopback interfaces available, waiting for
interfaces."


workaround is to create dummy interface and configuration then
completes.
