Package ctdb does not create directories in /var/lib/ctdb

Doing the CTDB setup I faced the same issues as:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ctdb/+bug/1335540
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ctdb/+bug/1821775
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/722201

I'll merge the fixes (for those and this bug) altogether.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929931

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13984

The fix (Eoan) and SRU (Disco, Cosmic and Bionic) for this bug is being done at:

Hello Robert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted samba into disco-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/2:4.10.0+dfsg-0ubuntu2.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-disco to verification-done-disco. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted samba (2:4.10.0+dfsg-0ubuntu2.3) for disco have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

gvfs/1.40.1-1ubuntu0.1 (amd64)

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/disco/update_excuses.html#samba

[1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Autopkgtest_Regressions

Thank you!

FYI - this test fail was resolved by a retry as gvfs is somewhat flaky

Marking verification-done according to:
