Something is going wrong with the following package python3-samba.
As a result, I cannot proceed with any update due to this issue.
I have tried removing the aforementioned package but in vain.
I have also removed all the associated with the troublesome package files from /var/lib/dpkg/info.
I tried also to reconfigure the dpkg database with no luck:
root@lubuntuhome:~# dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: error processing package python3-samba (--configure):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting configuration
Errors were encountered while processing:
