Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

The logs show:

dpkg: error processing package samba (--configure):

Unfortunately that just tells us that the smbd service failed to start, but not why. Could you please attach the log files from /var/log/samba/log* to this bug?

And also show the output of this command:

sudo systemctl status smbd.service nmbd.service

Thanks
