Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu. I'm seeing many messages like this one in the logs: Use of uninitialized value $reply in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Passthrough.pm line 66.
I believe this was fixed some time ago in Ubuntu already. Could you please run these commands one more time to make sure there are no other pending updates? sudo apt update sudo apt -f install sudo apt dist-upgrade ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790730 Title: package samba-common 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.16 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1790730/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
