I'm sending this again because when I received the email from the bug list server my text was missing (?).
Dear Christian, all, Disabling ipv6 did not work but reinstalling samba did. I reran sudo apt -f install after a reboot and no error occurred. Many many thanks to everyone for all the help - you're brilliant - much appreciated.
