Samba daemons fail to start. Please attach your relevant
/var/log/samba/* logfiles.

Setting up samba (2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3) ...
Generating /etc/default/samba...
 * Starting Samba daemons
   ...fail!
invoke-rc.d: initscript samba, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing samba (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

You apparently also have some disturbing permissions setup, according to the logfile you posted:
WARN: /var is world writable!


** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
