Thank you for guiding me to create better bug reports in the future.  In the context of this particular issue, the entire virtual machine becomes unusable and it would be impossible given my current skill level to get the terminal output or a log off of the VM in order to submit a bug report.  Even a common text editor such as gedit disappears.  Here is the list of what will be removed and installed, without actually proceeding with the installation of this i386 package:

lawlist@lawlist-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt install samba-dev:i386
