package samba 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: installed samba package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

I was not accessing the shared volume, I was doing a project source code build (entirely local) when the message popped up. I did have two large shared volumes open, though.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

Looks like something is already running on that port or some other issue was preventing the service from starting.

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem,
rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as 'Incomplete'.

However, if you believe that this is really a bug in Ubuntu, then we would
be grateful if you would provide a more complete description of the problem
with steps to reproduce, 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".
