[Bug 1755523] Re: package samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.13 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The logs confirm the failure in the post installation phase, but do not have enough information about the cause:
invoke-rc.d: initscript smbd, action "start" failed.

Could you please attach your /etc/samba/smb.conf file to this bug?
