Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

From the log:
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript samba-ad-dc, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing package samba (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Also referring to your quote "Previously it has shown Samba invalid entries in config file"

This most likely is a local misconfiguration and samba then fails to restart properly on the upgrade. Due to that I'd assume that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete.

If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
