Big problems there, you are installing the packages to build Samba and
you have installed python3 packages, you do not need these for 4.7.6,
you need python2

I personally would have stuck with 16.04 to do the classicupgrade, then,
after the upgrade, join a new 18.04 AD DC to that, transfer the FSMO
roles and demote the 16.04 DC.
