Unmet dependencies trying to install samba, Ubuntu 22.04-2

This is a one week old installation of Ubuntu 22.04.2. I have installed various programs successfully and want to share folders on the local network. When I go to this from Files it asks to install samba and that is failing with the message below. I can add information about repositories but AskUbuntu/StackExchange seems to be preventing me adding them. They're not exotic.

root@Clevo2:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-get install samba

I hope that points up the collision(s) and perhaps how to resolve them.

Try to install the packages that `samba` depends on first: `sudo apt install python3-samba samba-common-bin libwbclient0 samba-libs`.

Did you run `sudo apt update` first before `sudo apt upgrade`?

Thanks all four. Yes I ran `apt update` before attempting the install. Yes, I understand about the dependencies. Explaining what I mean, hm, not sure what to add to the output from apt: the dependency version numbers are such that there are incompatibilities so the installation won't proceed. `apt-cache policy` output added to the question. Hope that helps, appreciate the input.

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.
