Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug.

It looks like an alternatives update went awry somewhere.

update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/nmblookup
corrupt: invalid status

I see previous cases of this such as bug 526418, but don't know what
would have caused it.

Could you provide the output of

   ls -l /etc/alternatives
   cat /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/nmblookup

As with bug 526418, I'd recommend purging the samba packages and moving
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/nmblookup out of the way.
