I know. This is Bug #821002, which is also serious and should be fixed soon. If you still want to work around the problem and not wait for +deb8u3, you could maybe: dpkg --purge --force-depends samba apt-get -f install This will probably install samba (again) and samba-libs version +deb8u2, but this time without errors. After that you can use aptitude, deborphan, debfoster, or whatever work best in your case.
