[Bug 1787210] Re: package samba 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: installed samba package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Joe Francis]

I had this same update apply overnight automatically on a pair of
servers and kill samba as well.

I downgraded to prior version and things seem to be working, although on
one server the package setup doesn't complete successfully:

invoke-rc.d: initscript samba-ad-dc, action "restart" failed.
