[Bug 1790971] Re: package samba 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: installed samba package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The logs indicate that the smbd service, part of samba, failed to start, but do not tell why:
invoke-rc.d: initscript smbd, action "start" failed.
● smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Could you please look into the log files from /var/log/samba, and
perhaps even attach them here? They will have a better indication about
what happened.

Thanks

Title:
  package samba 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.2 failed to
  install/upgrade: installed samba package post-installation script
  subprocess returned error exit status 1

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This after a reinstall of Samba.  Sequence of events as follows:
  Samba share was working fine.
  Upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04.
  Windows desktops could still connect to Samba share, but Windows Servers (2012R2) were rejected with "incorrect password"
  Tried numerous fixes, eliminated problems of interface or iptables being the culprit.
  Tried monkeying with smb.conf
  Finally removed and then reinstalled Samba and started with a fresh smb.conf
  As before, desktops connected, servers did not
  Rebooted
  Got this error.  Now nothing works.
