samba - Oct 2016 - Attempting to expunge tombstones with samba-tool

Hello,

I receive the following when I attempt to expunge deleted tombstone 
records. I'm attempting to fix several dbcheck 'Not removing dangling 
forward link' errors.

samba-tool domain tombstones expunge
ERROR(<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>): uncaught exception -
'module'
object has no attribute 'time'
   File 
"/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py",
line 176, in _run
     return self.run(*args, **kwargs)
   File 
"/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/domain.py",
line 3791, in run
     current_time = long(time.time())

I recently updated from 4.5.0 to 4.5.1. Do I need to reanimate deleted 
objects before I can expunge them? Thanks.

That isn't your problem, if you look closely, you seem to have a problem
with your version of 'time'. If you look at the top of
'domain.py',
there is this line:

import time

This tells python to use the 'time' module, this module should have the
attribute 'time', you can check this with 'pydoc time.time' run
in
a terminal, this should produce info about 'time.time'.

I get

time.time = time(...)
     time() -> floating point number

     Return the current time in seconds since the Epoch.
     Fractions of a second may be present if the system clock provides them.


I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on these DC's.  Python version 2.7.3. Thanks.
