[SOLVED] samba install failed

[soky]

Hi all,

I have a new installed Linux Mint 18.1 Serena and like it!
But I can not install samba:
sudo apt install samba

Code: Select all

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have been updated and upgraded apt without result. The synaptic could not help too.
I can not figure out what missing or wrong for smbd.

There are a couple of commands you can run to see if they help.
A command which repairs possible unmet dependencies:

Code: Select all

apt install --reinstall -f samba

A command to reconfigure all installed programs which may not be configured properly:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Thank you, I'll try it tomorrow, and this is promising too: viewtopic.php?f=238&t=225026&p=1186737& ... l#p1186737
