Public bug reported:

This error is odd.

I'm on Xubuntu 20.04.6, and I've reverted all app sources back to plain
vanialla distro (universe, multiverse, restricted)

I've reinstalled Samba (for another reason) - and ended up in having no
Samba at all.

Apt keeps failing with the following error message:


```
Checking smb.conf with testparm
testparm: **symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/libldbsamba.so.0: undefined symbol: ldb_msg_element_is_inaccessible, version LDB_2.4.4**
dpkg: error processing package samba-common-bin (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of samba:

  Package samba-common-bin is not configured yet.

No apport report written because the error message indicates it's a follow-up error from a previous failure.
                                                                                                            Processing triggers for ufw (0.36-6ubuntu1.1) ...
```

The following line therein is the one I don't understand:

> "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/samba/libldbsamba.so.0: undefined symbol:
ldb_msg_element_is_inaccessible, version LDB_2.4.4"

It sounds like the libldb and samba versions/APIs? are not matching?
How could that be?
I've ran "debsums" on my system, and it says some missing files, but no borken libraries.


Any clues and help greatly appreciated!
A life without samba is not really fun :(

Thanks.
