I'm trying to install samba
package on Debian 3.16.39-1
but I'm running on unmet dependencies error.
This is output result of : apt-get install samba

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
samba : Depends: heimdal-hdb-api-8 but it is not installable
Depends: python-dnspython but it is not installable
Depends: python-ntdb but it is not installable
Depends: python-samba but it is not going to be installed
Depends: samba-common-bin (= 2:4.2.14+dfsg-0+deb8u2) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: attr but it is not installable
Recommends: samba-vfs-modules but it is not going to be installed
This is the output error :
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I though I add an issue with /etc/apt/sources.list after comment the line #deb cdrom ..
but I was able successfully install the package samba-common.
After backup and change my sources.list I run the following command :
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get autoclean
apt-get -f install
This is the output of /etc/apt/sources.list :
#

But I'm unfortunately still facing the same issue. Thanks for your help.
