Broken

Well, I'm sorry this happened.
I will try to explain:

Ubuntu 9.10 was released on 29 October 2009 and come by default with
samba 3.4.0-3ubuntu5 package. This is Samba3 Version branch, which is
different from samba4.
Now if u did packages update during the time u had ubuntu 9.10, then,
u might end up with 3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6 version, which are some security
fixes and such.

Now, Ubuntu 10.4 ship with Samba4 and Samba3 as the SMB/CIFS provider
protocol, so if you update the samba pkg from 3 to 4, just because you
was thinking this is kind of upgrade, then it might got conf files out
of control.

Can u please send us the /etc/samba or /etc/smb files?
If there are being kept as for the samba3 files, we might bring your
old samba3 server up and running.

Jelmer, How can we prevent this for happening?
Maybe we should do some Samba4 Notification before installing this?

Can u think about some other way this could be happening?

Sassy
