I have Ubuntu 16.04. I installed many packages from default repositories by apt-get but I have been getting this dpkg error since yesterday night. I am new to Linux so I don't know much.

I am getting this on sudo apt install <package_name>:

$ sudo apt install python-gnuplot

This is a known bug and is being worked on. Add yourself to the affected users list on this page:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1581679

This worked for me:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba-libs:amd64

Try This:

sudo systemctl stop nmbd



sudo systemctl disable nmbd

Then run:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba-libs:amd64

apt should be good to go from there.
