It seems like the invoke-rc.d command is called already before the prerm
script. Maybe the fact that the prerm script fails is just a consequence
of a prior invoke.rc-d error. I am not sure what to make of this.

I think the link should be like this:

/etc/rc2.d/K09samba: symbolic link to `../init.d/samba'

(I don't have samba installed here, though.)

I would try to correct this link:

cd /etc/rc2.d/
ln -sf ../init.d/samba K09samba

If that does not change the link, try to remove it before creating it
again:

cd /etc/rc2.d/
rm K09samba
ln -s ../init.d/samba K09samba

Obviously this symlink has to be fixed in some way to make dpkg happy.
