I agree that it's probably a duplicate of bug 791944. I also get

$ sudo apt-get upgrade
[sudo] password for obfuscated:

Title:
  package samba 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I first upgraded to precise the samba update  failed due to some
  dependency issue. The only way I could finally resolve this issue was
  to completely purge the related packages, install samba from scratch,
  recreate all users and the config. The dependecy issue has been
  resolved. Samba was working fine.

  Now it seems that I have just had another failed samba update. I've
  got no idea why this time. Maybe you can tell me. I'm hoping I wont
  need to reinstall from scratch again...
