Note the Samba messages near the end:
Setting up samba (2:4.5.12+dfsg-2+deb9u4) ...
Failed to preset unit: Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service
is masked.
/usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on
samba-ad-dc.service: No such file or directory
I don't know what the second line means, but suspect systemd is
complaining (?). I assume the third line is a consequence of the second.
I tried another upgrade to see what happens:
2018-12-02 11:57:25 root@dipsy ~
# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Looks okay...
Then I rebooted and looked for Samba:
2018-12-02 12:04:07 root@dipsy ~
# service samba status
* samba.service
Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
Active: inactive (dead)
Not encouraging...
Then I tried connecting to Samba from a client machine, and the
connection worked. So, Samba is running even though systemd thinks it
is not (?).
I update and upgrade weekly (or more often, if a critical security
update is announced), and do not recall seeing any problems a week ago.
So, this issue was introduced sometime during the past week.
STFW I don't see a recent, relevant hit.
Does anyone know what is going on?
