I had to uninstall samba, because I had configured it wrong. But now when i try to reinstall it using sudo apt-get install samba smbfs, I get the output:-
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package samba is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
samba-common
Package smbfs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'samba' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'smbfs' has no installation candidate
I am nor able to download it via ubuntu Software center.
Any help is appreciated
Thank you
First uninstall it completely
Sudo apt-get autoremove samba4

Assuming you're using Ubuntu you'll have to enable the universe repo.
I use Parrot OS. As I found out, strace is a basic package which i can install just by apt-get install strace. But i just get

Why so? M/b somebody nows
According to the parrot repo, the strace package is present.
This means that either your apt database is outdated, in this case, you can update it using apt update, or apt is not using this repo.
If so, you can add the Parrot Repo by creating/updating your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/parrot.list file with the content provided in the documentation of Parrot. Then you can update the list of packages and retry the installation!

How did you remove your package list? You should be able to restore it by finding the official repository list on the Linux Mint site, and then making sure your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list matches what they have.
Firstly, I would run sudo apt-get update though, in order to see what you're missing. That in itself might fix your problem.
Try the following.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
