[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The logs show:
Setting up samba (2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.13) ...
Job for smbd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status smbd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

dpkg: error processing package samba (--configure):

Unfortunately that just tells us that the smbd service failed to start,
but not why. Could you please attach the log files from
/var/log/samba/log* to this bug?

And also show the output of this command:

sudo systemctl status smbd.service nmbd.service

Thanks
