Thank you for your fast reply. Updating Samba 3 to Samba 4 *is* possible, please see https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Updating_Samba .
There might be some configuration changes but all in all it is no big deal to manually merge them - at least not for a basic setup without any active directory (AD) integration. As stated, when using Samba 2:4.1.3+dfsg-2ubuntu3 from Ubuntu trusty, things do not work even with the most basic/default config file. Replacing the packages with a more recent Version 2:4.1.5+dfsg-1 from Debian Jessie helps to resolve this issue. No further configuration changes compared to 2:4.1.3+dfsg-2ubuntu3 from trusty are required. I simply downloaded all packages and issued # dpkg -i libsmbclient_4.1.5+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libwbclient0_4.1.5+dfsg-1_amd64.deb python-samba_4.1.5+dfsg-1_amd64.deb samba_4.1.5+dfsg-1_amd64.deb samba-common_4.1.5+dfsg-1_all.deb samba-common-bin_4.1.5+dfsg-1_amd64.deb samba-dsdb-modules_4.1.5+dfsg-1_amd64.deb samba-libs_4.1.5+dfsg-1_amd64.deb samba-vfs-modules_4.1.5+dfsg-1_amd64.deb smbclient_4.1.5+dfsg-1_amd64.deb Please let me know what else you require to address this bug report.
