Hello The samba package install problem do not occur anymore. But since upgrade to 16.04 each access to a samba share need a authentication and scheduled tasks fails. (After upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 the same problem occurred for several month before been solved by a update.) I removed the machine from the domain an tried to join again. The join fail. Below copy of some commands and the terminal outputs : hh@F2u:~$ sudo apt -f install [sudo] Mot de passe de hh : Lecture des listes de paquets...
