Unfortunately, this report came about while working on a friend's
machine for him. The reason he needed samba was to be able to print from
W2K in a virtual box on the Ubuntu machine to a USB printer connected to
the same Ubuntu machine.
As I mentioned above, I retried the operation a few hours later and it
worked, so this may have been due to something being updated in the
update servers, making the packages temporarily unavailable (although
the update should have recognised that surely?).
The machine has now been returned to my friend, and has samba installed and
working, so the output of the requested command
dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Source} ${Status}\n' | grep samba
would reflect the current (upgraded) state, not the state it was in when the
error occurred. ><
Sorry I can't be more help on this one !
