[Bug 1651660] Re: package python-samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

I received the same error but do not have any cifs links in fstab nor
was I accessing an SMB remote drive at the time. Iturned my laptop on,
the software updater prompt came up and I allowed it to update whilst
getting mail . In case it is of use here is my stat report

kim at Inspiron-15:~$ stat /usr/bin/python

I have python 2.7, 3 and 3.5

I'm at the airport so have no SMB shares to test if things are still
working.

Cheers
Kim
