Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

Attempting to apply today's batch of updates using Adept Updater,
everything works fine until it attempts to apply the Samba updates
(mentioned in Security notice USN-544-1) when it fails with a pop-up
message saying "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was
a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages."

No other informative messages are output. However, running apt-get upgrade 
provides some useful diagnostics:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# apt-get upgrade

The following packages will be upgraded:

Need to get 10.6MB of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.

So it looks like there may be a problem in the repository.

I am marking this as a security vulnerability, as it prevents updating
Samba against a known vulnerability. Apologies if this is not correct.
