Problems with samba-ad-dc installaton.
I use Synaptic Package Manger for regular update of installed packages and to add some of the "new in the repository" packages.
Here are error outputs from Synaptic Package Manger that I've got recently.
Error message in dialog box:
----------------------------
E: samba-ad-dc: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Copy/paste from "details" window:
---------------------------------
Errors were encountered while processing:
samba-ad-dc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

dpkg: error processing samba-ad-dc (--configure):

----------------------------------
I don't know about the effects of the above error, since I don't use samba with (or as) a windows ad or domain controller, but would like to fix the error anyway.
Hope that someone will help.
Best regards and TIA.
