[Bug 1701330] Re: package samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Hi Franco,
you seem to be affected by that issue for quite a while - unfortunately some of the logs that were attached are no more covering how it started :-/.

I'll give you the summary what happened and you can decide which way you
want to go:

1. what is breaking
   On install/upgrade of the samba package it fails to restart the samba service
2. why is that required
   When updating a service the daemons have to be restarted to pick up the change.
   While doing so things can fail e.g. because the upgrade no more supports the old config, but 
   actually that case is very rare.
3. what is happening more likely
   Most of the times these kind of issues occur if services are installed, but not properly 
   configured. The users might have experimented with it but eventually didn't care and left it 
   in a broken state so that the service isn't able to restart (e.g. broken config file)
4. Solution
   4a. fix the samba config so you can properly restart the service, very very likely the upgrade 
       then works as well.
       $ systemctl restart smbd
       $ systemctl status smbd
       # once goot do your upgrades
   4b. if you didn't configure it, you likely don't care so you might as well just remove the 
       package. Of course that will stop bothering about not being able to upgrade it.

Please pick your way to resolve, if you run into troubles along that set
the bug back to new.
