[Bug 1741113] 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

Thanks, but you didn't attach the log files from /var/log/samba/ for
this last attempt at starting the services. Or was there nothing new in
there?

That being said, I saw this snippet from nmbd:
Jan 10 06:08:16 ats-pc nmbd[1085]: Failed to create /var/log/samba/cores for user 0 with mode 0700


Do you have a /var/log/samba/cores directory? Could you show me its contents? Something like:

ls -la /var/log/samba/cores

If it doesn't exist, can you create it? You should have it like this:
# ls -lah /var/log/samba/cores/
total 2.0K
