Installation of Samba failed on Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 on post installation script

I'm trying to get Samba installed on an Ubuntu machine. The installation
stops while executing a post installation script. I've let this part of
the installation run for 24 hours and it doesn't complete. I have tried
removing, purging, cleaning, updating, the works.

My /etc/samba directory contains these files : dhcp.conf  tls(directory)

I've installed samba4, but it doesn't seem to provide the smbd server.

No additional information seems to be present in the system logs.

This is what happens on install :
"sudo apt-get install samba

And that's where it'll stay until I press ctrl+c .

And if it helps... removal of Samba :
"sudo apt-get remove samba
