I've checked my dpkg.log and it gives me this list when I installed samba:

libwbclient0:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
samba-common:all 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
libtevent0:amd64 0.9.31-1
libc-bin:amd64 2.24-11+deb9u1
systemd:amd64 232-25+deb9u1
man-db:amd64 2.7.6.1-2
samba-libs:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
samba-vfs-modules:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
python-samba:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
libsmbclient:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
smbclient:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
samba-common-bin:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
samba-dsdb-modules:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
winbind:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9
samba:amd64 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1nmu1~deb9

Does this help?
