Looking at the terminal log, this is the stage where it went wrong:
Paramétrage de samba-common (2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.3) ...
Not replacing deleted config file /etc/samba/smb.conf
chmod: ne peut accéder `/etc/samba/smb.conf': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

The final line, by my inexpert translation:
"chmod: cannot access /etc/samba/smb.conf: No such file or folder exists."

If you purge samba "sudo apt-get purge samba" and then try installing it again, does it work any better?

I did it. I purge the samba instalation with command "sudo apt-get purge samba" and i try intalling it again, but don't work properly.

Upgrade fails if /etc/samba/samba.conf was manually deleted, which is apparently the case.
Try: "sudo apt-get purge samba samba-common" before reinstalling (the smb.conf file is installed by samba-common).
