Thanks tamkt,
Try sudo apt-get install samba*
I tried it, but got the same error. (see below)
I also tried "apt-get autoremove samba*" followed by a second attempt of "apt-get install samba*" with the same result.
The problem is with the broken packages. I assume that the statement "you have held broken packages." means that I have an application installed that has dependencies on the earlier version of the library "2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2" Does anyone know how to tell what depends upon the broken packages? Or know how to force the package to update?
Code:
sudo apt-get install samba*
