We synced up on IRC and went through the same stages:
overall we did:

1. cleaning all samba bits via apt purge (and rm if stale files were around)
   after that my test container as well as his system were in this state:
   Since on the Desktop there is a dependency chain mplayer -> libsmbclient -> samba-libs I was
   adapting my container to the reported case. The new overview is:

2. clean out files of samba-libs:i386 as defined by http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/i386/samba-libs/filelist
    While we haven't found a reason it should be on the system, it is - so removing those makes apt&reality match again.
3. installing samba via "apt install samba"
   On the apt report before Y/N watch the "The following additional packages will be installed:"
   That should have no i386 packages listed - please report if it does.
   That hopefully gives a clean and working system again like:
