O Xubuntu 16.04.1, apt-get update hoje, mas esse tem sido um problema contínuo por várias semanas. Eu removi o diretório /etc/samba inteiramente antes de executar:
root@lorne:/etc# apt-get install -f samba

Limpei o cache do apt, execute apt-get purge samba e excluiu o diretório /etc/samba . Também corri os passos aqui: link sem sucesso.
Ajuda?
