[Bug 1728586] Re: package samba 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

Was your network perhaps down during the upgrade, or when you ran the
dpkg --configure -a command? Perhaps you have a wifi connection that
gets established only after you login on your desktop environment?

The nmbd process will start in such a case, but if there is no network
it will wait indefinitely for one. Systemd, however, will eventually
timeout the job and think it failed.

Something like this might be happening in your case:

Just for completeness, could you also please attach these files:
- /etc/samba/smb.conf
- /var/log/samba/log*

Thanks

Bug description:
  Upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 stopped due to "Samba" package, so I've manually continued the upgrade with "
  sudo dpkg --configure -a" and got the following errors:
