I am having samba problems and can't delete samba or fix it here is what I keep getting: I tried apt --fix-broken install but that yields pretty much the same dependency problems

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cifs-utils : Depends: libwbclient0 (>= 2:4.0.3+dfsg1) but it is not going to be installed
 libsmbclient : Depends: libwbclient0 (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.10) but it is not going to be installed
 python3-samba : Depends: libwbclient0 (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.10) but it is not going to be installed
 samba : Depends: samba-common (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.9) but 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.10 is to be installed
         Depends: libwbclient0 (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.9) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.9) but 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.10 is to be installed
 samba-common-bin : Depends: samba-common (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.9) but 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.10 is to be installed
                    Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.9) but 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.10 is to be installed
                    Depends: libwbclient0 (= 2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.9) but it is not going to be installed

The package `2:4.11.6+dfsg-0ubuntu1.9` is not in the Ubuntu repositories. That suggests that your package database is out-of-date (run `sudo apt update`) or that you are getting the package from some unusual source (if so, please explain).

Possible solutions:

A combination of "improvements" on your command
```
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install --fix-broken <all listed packages and dependencies in the message you reported>
```
Note that this includes:

1.1. A prior update. You might already have done this, I don't know. But it doesn't hurt.

1.2. sudo in your install command. You might already have done this. If not, this alone may be the problem (I wonder about the returned message).

1.3. --fix-broken. This might not be needed, with one or more of the above. I would try including this only if 1.2 doesn't work.

1.4. Manually installing all packages and dependencies. See also this and this. I would try this only if 1.2 and 1.3 don't work. And combining this and 1.3 only if this doesn't work.
Check the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for "strange" repos.

@TomJerram - Did you try all that was suggested? Please post updates in the question, not in comments, so everyone knows what is the current target.

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.
