you seem to be missing samba-common-bin, samba-dsdb-modules, and
python-samba, all of which are dependencies of samba.
Try 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba'
If that doesn't include install the removed packages, run, 'sudo
apt-get install samba-common-bin samba-dsdb-modules python-samba'
I, too, have been having problems that seem to point to samba. Note
that I am still running Jessie.
If I run 'sudo aptitude update' followed by 'sudo aptitude upgrade' I
get the following:

The following packages will be upgraded:
python-samba
The following partially installed packages will be configured:

1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/1,016 kB of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] y

So far as I can tell, samba only exists on my system because smbclient
is suggested by CUPS and since my wife sometime prints from her Windows
laptop I want to leave it installed (is this correct?).
Trying to reinstall, or update any of the samba packages just gives me
more of the same. How do I resolve this?
At some point I will want to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch, but I need
a clean system before I can attempt that.
