Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.
The logs are not very helpful in this case, the only thing I saw was:
[1mdpkg:[0m error processing package libsmbclient:amd64 (--configure):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration
Did you try to remove the package and install it again? I tried to
upgrade it from 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.4 to 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.6 in
a Focal as you did, but I was not able to reproduce the failure, it
worked just fine. There are some CVE fixes which does not seem to
introduce a real regression.
Since there is not enough information in your report to begin triage or to
differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I
am marking this bug as "Incomplete". We would be grateful if you would:
provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you
believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your
system, and then change the bug status back to "New".
For local configuration issues, you can find assistance here:

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
