Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.
During an upgrade, services are restarted, and if it turns out the new
version doesn't like the old config, it will fail to restart. I think
this is indeed what happened here, given the output of testparm that is
attached to this report:
WARNING: The
Just to be clear, the smb.conf config file you attached already
registers as invalid even in the samba version you started your upgrade
from (eoan: 4.10.7)
