Roger, this is a very unusual error:

update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/nmblookup
corrupt: invalid status

This would only occur if that file has some strange data in it.

I would suggest doing this after a backup of your system completes:

sudo apt-get remove samba
sudo apt-get install samba


** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
