@ErickPH
Many thanks for your report. Let me try to replicate.

Fresh install works fine here.
Could you please paste the log:

cat /var/log/samba/log.smbd

cat /var/log/samba/log.smbd

My logs are cleared. no data is logged as the issue is with (re)installing and not with usage.

@ErickPH
The logs are most likely cleared due to RAMlog. Since smbd.service: Main process exited, code=…LURE there must be some error output of the Samba daemon itself.

Please try to force the error again and then check logs:

dpkg --configure samba
cat /var/log/samba/log.smbd
