This is a one week old installation of Ubuntu 22.04.2. I have installed various programs successfully and want to share folders on the local network. When I go to this from Files it asks to install samba and that is failing with the message below. I can add information about repositories but AskUbuntu/StackExchange seems to be preventing me adding them. They're not exotic.
