Thanks for the bug report.

Based on your logs, this is the error that's happening:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Loaded services file OK.
ERROR: lock directory /run/samba does not exist

ERROR: pid directory /run/samba does not exist

Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

dpkg: erro ao processar o pacote samba-common-bin (--configure):
 o subprocesso instalado, do pacote samba-common-bin, o script post-installation retornou erro do status de saída 1

This issue is known and has been reported to the Debian samba package as well:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=975422

Although I wasn't able to reproduce it, the rationale described in the link above makes sense to me, and I can confirm that, on Focal, samba-common-bin.postinst is calling systemd-tmpfiles *after* calling testparm, which is what causes this issue.

Debian's fix is here:

I'm adding this bug to our TODO list, and marking it as Triaged.
