Samba install dependencies/conflicts problem

Recommended Posts

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? (Y/n) Y

Try installation without checking dependencies? (y/N)

 

What do I do about it? And just what *is* LDAP?

 

Thank you in advance for any help :-)

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 )

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.

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.
