Re: Help with module problems on Upgrade to 2.1
Bob, thanks for the help.
I tried it, to little avail.
(session below). I can't tell if
1) just better tool usage is needed,
2) my configuration is broken, and if so how to recover,
3) the tools are broken (less likely..)
But, how does one probe into the details of:
"subprocess
pre-removal script returned error exit status"?
Any more ideas, I'm stuck!

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have
unmet
dependencies:
samba: Depends:libpam0

It looks like you got rid of libpam0 and
libpam-util. apt-get is
picky about having a broken system, but dpkg is less so, especially
with the forcing options. You might try dpkg -i <path>samba*
(unlike
apt, dpkg requires a full pathname to the .deb for installation,
but
just the package name for purge, remove, or configure).
I don't have a recent slink Packages file.
In the one I have,
samba has no dependencies other than netbase and libc6. If that is
no
longer true, it should tell you what dependencies it needs. You
can
append them to the dpkg command line above.
It might be necessary to remove samba with `dpkg
-r samba'. If
dpkg refuses, try ` dpkg --force-depends -r samba'. If this
doesn't
work look at `dpkg --help' and `dpkg --force-help' for other
possibilities.
After samba is removed, `apt-get install samba'
should work,
automatically installing any missing dependencies.
Bob
