Update to 20.04.3 LTS broke samba

Yesterday I upgraded from 18.04 to current LTS.

When I now try to install samba I get the following:

[sudo] password for phill:  
Reading package lists... Done  
Building dependency tree         
Reading state information... Done  
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies. <br />
samba : Depends: python3-samba but it is not going to be installed  
        Depends: samba-common-bin (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.10) but it is not going to be installed  
         Depends: libpython3.8 (>= 3.8.2) but it is not going to be installed  
         Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.10) but it is not going to be installed  
         Recommends: samba-dsdb-modules but it is not going to be installed  
         Recommends: samba-vfs-modules but it is not going to be installed  
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have attempted all the fixes I could find, but nothing helps.

I also notice that gnome-control-center does not work/install with a missing libsmbclient ...

any suggestions gratefully received.

Did you not have samba installed before the upgrade?

OK, long arc is that while doing the upgrade I recall seeing some option(s) regarding samba - I took the default option! This may relate to the fact that there seemed to be a bionic library left behind. Finally everything broke! So I did a fresh install of 20.04 and everything now works as expected.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
