[Bug 1797721] Re: package winbind 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.17 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Probably solved.
I have fixed the permissions and 2 updates have gone through without crashing out.
I looks like the fix has worked, thank you.
It remains a mystery how the permissions apparently spontaneously changed!
I will confirm again after some more substantial updates have gone through.

Title:
  package winbind 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.17 failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script
  returned error exit status 1

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Software Updater used to work perfectly but now it fails with the message in the summary.
  When Software Updater informs me there are updates I now use 'Ubuntu Software' to do them as it completes without failing.
  Can I remove Samba and all its components and reinstall it?
  I have an NTFS partition which I can still read from Ubuntu.

  I am using Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS.
