Code: [Select]
root@grubber:~# /etc/init.d/samba start
root@grubber:~# /etc/init.d/ebox samba start
samba is not a valid module name
Module list:
network firewall apache ca dhcp events ids logs monitor ntp openvpn remoteservices software webserver
root@grubber:~#

After running apt-get update then apt-get dist-install, eBox finished updating but it appears as though Samba and related shares were removed. eBox claims Samba is installed via the software manager, but that's not possible. I then went to an ran apt-get to see if anything was amok.

Code: [Select]
root@grubber:~# apt-get install ebox-samba

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  ebox-samba: Depends: ebox-usersandgroups but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
root@grubber:~#

Sure enough, Samba was not only gone, but now contains broken packages. I do remember the installer asking me what domain my Samba server is on, and I typed that in; otherwise, nothing else was samba-related.

Removing the package from Software Manager in eBox revealed:

The packages removal has not finished correctly . More information on the logs

In eBox version 1.4 this problem appears to have been fixed.
