I have had issues with newer versions of Ubuntu's samba packages not 
updating the alternatives.  I believe you can install samba and samba4 
side-by-side and a simple update-alternatives command will get you to 
the right version.

Try executing /usr/sbin/smbd directly and see what happens.

You might have issues with net, testparm and others.

Thanks,
