The latest hamm dpkg does not have --force-overwrite enabled by default,
this is so overlaps between packages can be easily spotted and corrected.
You can do a dpkg --force-overwrite --install path/to/samba_1.9.18p2-1.deb
manually.
The overlap has been reported as a bug, see
<http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/17/17932.html> if you like.
