I DON'T recommend playing with the --force option at all with these packages. Wait until it is fixed or a proven workaround is available. I got an experimental system in such a state that I couldn't login as any user. I had to mount the drive on another system to get the few files that I wanted and then reinstalled from scratch. I downgraded samba to get around this for now.
