I encountered this bug on a laptop/client system upgrading to 14.04LTS. This bug also prevented me from using sudo. I found that booting into the recovery console and using dpkg to purge libpam-winbind got me back the ability to use sudo, then after renaming /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb I could finish upgarding and repairig packages.
