[Bug 1714269] Re: package samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.9 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for the reply.

You have an incorrect setting in your smb.conf file:

    security = share

testparm(1) detects this:
$ testparm ./smb.conf 
Load smb config files from ./smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'share' for parameter 'security'
Error loading services.

For this version of samba, "security = share" is no longer a valid
setting. Valid values for the "security" parameter are "auto", "user",
"domain" or "ads".

Please fix the configuration setting and then you can fix the package
installation with:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -f install
