After executing the install command bellow :
root@backup:/etc# apt-get install samba
I got this error message:

to solve this issue, i had to purge samba and all its dependencies, then reinstall it.
root@backup:/etc# apt-get remove samba --purge root@backup:/etc# apt-get autoremove --purge root@backup:/etc# apt-get install samba
