package samba4 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Bob Bosak]

Most likely failed since I didn't have ubiquity installed, but am not positive. This is the first Ubuntu I built so am not positive on all my settings! Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Unsure how compiz should be setup and is not operating properly which pointed to samba4

i removed the package samba4

sudo dpkg --purge samba4

and installed it again:

sudo apt-get install samba

this worked for me.
