[Bug 1731615] Re: package samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.11 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for the attachment.

You have an invalid configuration option in /etc/samba/smb.conf:
andreas at nsnx:~$ 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.

Once you fix the configuration, this should fix your samba installation:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -f install

Please let us know how it goes.
