Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
Release:	15.10

samba:
  Installed: 2:4.1.17+dfsg-4ubuntu2
  Candidate: 2:4.1.17+dfsg-4ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 2:4.1.17+dfsg-4ubuntu2 0
        500 http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected: Share a folder through Nautilus and it's available on LAN with
the correct permission settings (read/write).

What happened instead: Samba failed to install

Steps to reproduce:

Try to share a folder using Nautilus. It asks to install samba so
proceed but install gets stuck. It asks if you want to install libpam-
smbpass but all buttons are disabled and install can't proceed.

Alternatively, install using apt-get gives the following output.

:~$ sudo apt-get install samba
