jamespetts Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 I tried to update Samba yesterday. This happened: [root@localhost rpmdownload]# urpmi samba --auto-select unable to take medium "Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (ftp1u)" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (ftp1u)] exists To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (34 MB): samba-server-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk.i586 samba-swat-2.2.5-2mdk.i586 samba-doc-2.2.5-2mdk.i586 samba-client-2.2.5-2mdk.i586 samba-server-2.2.5-2mdk.i586 samba-common-2.2.5-2mdk.i586 samba-winbind-2.2.5-2mdk.i586 samba-common-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk.i586 Is it OK?

Guest anon Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 I think before you do urpmi etc you need to update your sources. the latest samba is 2.2.6 something. That may resolve your problem. LDAP is an authentication server ( for a network ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamespetts Posted October 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 This doesn't help, I'm afraid. I already ran urpmi.update immediately before the install. Also, the Samba website notes that 2.2.6 is a development version, and that 2.2.5 is still the latest stable version. Thank you for trying, though :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 I tried to update Samba yesterday. This happened: [root@localhost rpmdownload]# urpmi samba --auto-select You don't say from where, but judging from the release numbers, that looks like it's from a samba mirror. Did you read the docs on those RPMS??? You shouldn't use --auto-select, and you should use 'urpmi samba-server' now, the name of the server package has changed. That said, there seems to be a problem on some releases of Mandrake, where urpmi doesn't select correctly. [....] installing /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/samba-server-2.2.5-2mdk.i586.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/samba-server-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk.i586.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/samba-common-2.2.5-2mdk.i586.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/samba-winbind-2.2.5-2mdk.i586.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/samba-common-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk.i586.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/samba-swat-2.2.5-2mdk.i586.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/samba-doc-2.2.5-2mdk.i586.rpm /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/samba-client-2.2.5-2mdk.i586.rpm error: failed dependencies: samba-server-ldap conflicts with samba-server-2.2.5-2mdk samba-server conflicts with samba-server-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk samba-common-ldap conflicts with samba-common-2.2.5-2mdk samba-common conflicts with samba-common-ldap-2.2.5-2mdk Installation failed Try installation without checking dependencies? (y/N) What do I do about it? And just what *is* LDAP? LDAP = lightweight directory access protocol. Samba can store passwords either in the smbpasswd file, or in LDAP. LDAP is the most flexible, and allows you to centralise accounts, and have multiple domain controllers. But at present, this is configured at compile-time, so we provide seperate packages. Please read the docs that accompany the RPMS next time, and mail the author of the docs (that would be me) if there are issues. And, 2.2.6 is actually the current stable release, RPMS of 2.2.6 for 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 9.0 are ready at http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba, and will go up onto ftp.samba.org soon. There will also be an official update based more or less on these for 9.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamespetts Posted October 24, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Thank you very much for your help - finally I have the thing working, and Samba 2.2.6 running on my backup server! :D Note to self: read the docs in future...
