thats is what comes out

Re: help needed to remove samba

So, try what it suggest - apt-get --reinstall samba, then try removing...

If that doesn't help, I'm afraid that samba post-uninstall scripts are sadly broken (at least, vs Your device), and You'll need to manually find and delete remaining files/configs/whatsnot.

Code:

dpkg --configure samba
