Is there any graceful way to install Samba 2.2.1a over Mandrake 7.2 with
2.2.19 kernel and Samba 2.09? I get a glibc dependency problem. The
following is the output I get from an attempted glibc install to satisfy
the samba 2.2.1a dependency requirements. I got glibc-2.2.3-2 from
cooker. Is this a LM8 vs LM7.2 problem? Anyway, here is the problem:

Stupid question -- I know, but what to I need to do to be able to
install Samba 2.2.1a? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm
attempting this on my test machine, so I can kill it if I have to. Wife
may not like it if it takes the vfat partition with it if I do. Small
potatoes compared to thrashing the operational machine -- she'll get
over it. So, Rusty, Urban, Andrew, Jerry, Gerald, etc.. what's the
secret.
