[Bug 1556270] Re: package samba-libs 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Edit

sooo...

i managed to install samba now.
i presume you did the same thing as me, uninstalled samba and deleted /etc/samba.

the installer just presumes that this directory (or even the config file
in it, i don't know) exists and fails when it doesn't.

please try the following (fixed it for me):

  sudo mkdir /etc/samba
  sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf

then install samba normally.
