Samba won't install because of broken packages

The issue was with my package sources so I changed my /etc/apt/sources.list back to default with the help of repogen.simplylinux.ch

Then I ran these commands:

apt-get update
apt-get autoremove libtdb1 --purge
apt-get install libtdb1=1.3.8-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
apt-get install samba

Done. Thx for your assistance!


The following command helped me to install samba over Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS:

sudo aptitude install samba

Output:

Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     python-samba [Not Installed]                       
2)     samba [Not Installed]

6)     samba-vfs-modules [Not Installed]                  

Leave the following dependencies unresolved:         
7)     samba recommends samba-dsdb-modules                
8)     samba-common recommends samba-common-bin
