Error installing Samba

Hi guys (and girls), I am having a difficult time installing Samba. For some unknown reason, I am receiving the following error message:

Setting up samba (2:4.5.16+dfsg-1+deb9u2) ...

Any suggestions?

Here are the output of `systemctl status smbd.service`

As you can see, the installation have not completed:

My google searching suggests that it is related to broken or unresolved dependencies:

I am really not sure how to proceed, since I am already following the standard installation procedure (i.e., apt update, apt install).

The valuable stuff we need is in journalctl -u smbd.service and /var/log/samba or similar.

Here is the output of `sudo journalctl -u smbd.service`
