I tried the above commands and got:
u...@marty-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install samba

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic
Maybe:
$ sudo apt-get purge samba samba-common
$ sudo apt-get install samba
(untested, ywwv)

package samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Sorry - I don't think this is a bug after all. I had deleted the entire
/etc/samba folder thinking that a re-install would recreate it but it
obviously doesn't. It appears to be falling over when it tries to open

recreate

Looks like the Samba daemon couldn't start. Could you post the relevant
lines from /var/log/syslog or /var/log/samba/* ?
