Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The Samba nmbd service indeed failed to start, but the attached logs don't indicate why.

Could you please attach all the files that start with "log" in the directory /var/log/samba?

Also, what is the current status of the samba services after you finished this upgrade:

sudo systemctl status nmbd.service smbd.service

Thanks!
