tdb-tools fails in dpkg, causing samba install to fail

had lots of issues trying to get samba to work, eventually ripped all of tdb-tools out and tried a "fresh install". This is the relevant output:

Setting up tdb-tools (1.4.6-3) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/tdbbackup.tdbtools to provide /usr/bin/tdbba
ckup (tdbbackup) in auto mode
update-alternatives: error: unable to read link '/usr/bin/tdbbackup': Invalid ar

dpkg: error processing package tdb-tools (--configure):
 installed tdb-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of samba:
 samba depends on tdb-tools; however:
  Package tdb-tools is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package samba (--configure):

No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup erro
r from a previous failure.
