[Bug 1726231] Re: package samba 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The logs indeed indicate that one of the samba service, "smbd", is failing to start, but do not state why. To help determine why it's failing, could you please attach the following to this bug:
- /etc/samba/smb.conf
- /var/log/samba/log* <--- files that start with the "log" word. You can put them together in a zip file or tarball.

If you want you can also run the testparm utility: it will inspect your
samba configuration file (/etc/samba/smb.conf) looking for common
mistakes and report to you what it finds.

Thanks!
