my only goal is to share folders with a 32 bit windows pc.
Before one of the updates made, everything worked pretty well. After an update everything froze. Every time I make a proposed update, an error message appears automatically. The message says that there is a problem with the "Samba" package and therefore it is not being installed. My system is XUBUNTU

There is indeed a problem starting up the smbd service, part of samba. Can you please attach your /etc/samba/smb.conf file?

This is the error in your smb.conf:

$ testparm ./smb.conf
Load smb config files from ./smb.conf
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'share' for parameter 'security'
Error loading services.

The "share" parameter for "security" has been deprecated since many versions ago. You should go over your config and use a valid value for "security", like "user", and evaluate the impact this will have in your configuration. "share" won't work anymore.
