Re: samba-common
The solution is to open up your most favorite text editor and remove the silly windows LF/CR from the end of each line. Someone borked up - People still use Microsoft? : )
In simple terms ^M is spamming the scripts. Both of the following files have this issue: /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postrm Once you remove the ^M from the end of every line, it will both install and remove correctly. It's quite probable that the other samba-common files in this directory are also having the same problem - though I didn't check. |
Re: samba-common
would there be a program or even a command in the terminal, to automaticly fix that?

Re: samba-common
it sounds like somthing that could be done using regex (i only understand regex enough to see the potential, but i have no idea how to actually use them)

While I partly understand your instructions (have opened the two files you mentioned using a text editor) I don't know what you mean by ^M, and can't see anything of the sort anywhere in either file! Is ^M some sort of "code" or designation? |

The configuration files have been edited at some point in a text application that leaves ^M at the end of every line. (It's an extra carriage return that you can't ordinarily see) Probably another way to remove them is to hit "File -> Save As" and select "ASCII" or some similar raw text format. I use vi for pretty much all my editing so I can't really offer solutions that fall outside this particular editor. If you google "remove ^M" there are quite a few solutions. |
Re: samba-common
Make a copy of the files first:
