Samba re-installation problem

[AlmoG]

I was trying to re-install samba due to some changes i did that messed up my smb.conf file and some other files.

This is the output i got from synaptic package manager:

Hi, have you tried doing what it suggests? Open a terminal and

sudo mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.old
sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf
sudo dpkg --configure -a
