Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu, and sorry for taking so long to get to it.
The longs confirm that samba failed to start, but do not indicate why. Could you please try these commands: sudo apt update sudo apt -f install If you get errors again, then please attach the samba logs from /var/log/samba/log* to this bug. They will have information about what happened. Thanks! ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759109 Title: package samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.13 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1759109/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
