When upgrading from saucy to trusty, something similar happened to me, the upgrade failed, because the samba upgrade failed because it didn't like that there was a secrets.tdb in both /var/lib/samba and in /var/lib/samba/private, and the fix was similar to joctee's comment in posting #21, but then purging libpam-winbind instead of libpam- smbpass... Note that a failure that 'breaks' sudo is can be difficult (or frustrating) one to fix for many users, because not everybody will know about or how to get a root shell without it.
