Hi,
the prerm section that failed only runs a few commands that seem rather safe.

#!/bin/sh
set -e

# Automatically added by dh_python2:
if which pyclean >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        pyclean -p python-samba
else
        dpkg -L python-samba | grep '\.py$' | while read file
        do
                rm -f "${file}"[co] >/dev/null
        done
fi

# End automatically added section

no bad RC at:
- which is catched in the if
- rm is using force

So pyclean or dpdk could be the one that break IMHO.

In your log I also see:
dpkg-query: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0008' near line 9 package 'language-pack-zh-hans':
 'Replaces' field, invalid package name 'language-pack-g�ome-zh-hans-base': character '�' not allowed (only letters, digits and characters '-+._')

That is odd, it seems there is some incomplete update and it fails to parse some things.

I installed "language-pack-zh-hans" but that worked fine as well.

Could you reinstall language-pack-zh-hans and see if that resolves the issue overall.
$ apt install --fix-broken
$ apt install --reinstall language-pack-zh-hans
$ apt install --reinstall python-samba

I hope that helps but in general it seems more like a broken system config than an issue in a a package.

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

Since it seems likely to me 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.
