Please can you check the permissions on /var/lib/samba and /var/cache/samba; if they have both directories
have drwxrwxrwx permissions please try the following:

  sudo chmod 0755 /var/lib/samba /var/cache/samba
  sudo apt-get -f install

I think that this bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of

  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 1

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I was trying to do a purge and reinstall of samba and winbind ( some
  other packages related to them too but i cant remember ) to solve a
  network problem i was having. I used synaptic to completely remove and
  reinstall them and before it finished this error popped up ( see the
  summary ).  The problem i was having before was that i could not see
  any of the other computers and printers on my wireless home network.
  in nautilus when i tried to open the windows network it would always
  say failed to retrieve shares from server. the other computers are
  windows 7.
