[Bug 1740656] Re: package samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.12 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

For the Active Directory Controller role, you need to use the samba-ad-
dc service instead of the individual samba services:

sudo systemctl stop smbd.service nmbd.service winbind.service
sudo systemctl disable smbd.service nmbd.service winbind.service
sudo systemctl unmask samba-ad-dc.service
sudo systemctl enable samba-ad-dc.service
sudo systemctl restart samba-ad-dc.service

Your samba logs in /var/log/samba/log* should be saying something along
those lines.

After that's done, tell apt to try to finish the interrupted package
installation/upgrade that triggered this bug report:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -f install

Please let me know how it goes.
