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.

There is a package "tofrodos" but I don't see it in M5 repositories.

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)

Hi there, I'm having this problem with smbfs and samba-common failing to configure, meaning they also fail when trying to remove 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?

Now that I read my message again I wasn't very clear. : )

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.

Make a copy of the files first:
cp /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst.bak
cp /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postrm /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postrm.bak
Then remove the silly CRs
tr -d '\r' < /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst.bak > /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst
tr -d '\r' < /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postrm.bak > /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postrm
