Hello Sanele, t his is probably a error of the configuration of your system and not of Zentyal itself.

Are you using the packages from ppa.launchpad.net/zentyal/2.2 ?.

You can check this using the command 'apt-cache':

foobar@z22:~$ apt-cache policy samba-common
samba-common:
  Installed: 2:3.4.9-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2:3.4.9-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2:3.4.9-0ubuntu1 0
         50 http://ppa.launchpad.net/zentyal/2.2/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        500 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.8 0
         50 http://ad.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages
         50 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages
     2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3 0
         50 http://ad.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages

If not add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zentyal/2.2/ubuntu lucid main

and then 'apt-get update' and reinstall.

If not, try to execute directly the postinst script to see what is the exact error:

sudo bash -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common.postinst configure

Regards.

Javier

This seems a configuration/installation problem. Please, reopen if it is caused by any of the zentyal packages.
