Ok, Mandrake experts and Samba crew:
Were going to get to the bottom of this ; ) (At least for my
etification and hopefully others). The problem is simple, I have a test
machine (mirror to my real server) that I wan't to upgrade from Samba
2.09 to 2.2.1a. Mandrake 7.2 with 2.2.19 kernel is the current version.
No, there hasn't been a pressing need for me to try LM 8.0, I use the
7.2 server as the only server for 5 WinXX clients and it does ssh, ftp,
telnet, http (and htpts), pptp vpn, pop3, imap, and telnet quite nicely.
Don't have NT or Win2K, never have, and probably never will. I may need
trust relationships between a NT domain and my office in the future, but
that is another fish to fry.
The problem - How in the HECK do I get Samba 2.2.1a to install over my
current setup. You guys are awesome, but I'm not upgrading to LM 8.0
just to get Samba 2.2.1a to install. (period) I'm a stupid lawyer and
professional engineer (aero) and don't have the time to devote to a
complete version change at the moment. (numerous reasons - parenthood
the most pressing). (Brandon hold your comments young man -- we'll talk
later)
Background, I can't get Samba 2.2.1a to install from the Mandrake rpm
over my current setup. Specifically, the samba-2.2.1a-4mdk.i586.rpm,
samba-client-2.2.1a-4mdk.i586.rpm, and samba-common-2.2.1a-4mdk.i586.rpm
will not install over my present setup. I get dependency errors
concerning:
pam-devel-0.72-12mdk; (I installed pam-devel-0.72-12mdk and fixed this);
but installing from the src.rpm, I get
Installing samba-2_2_1a-4mdk_src.rpm
error: failed build dependencies:
libcups-devel is needed by samba-2.2.1a-4mdk
OK, that being so, I downloaded all of the cups upgrades;
cups-1_1_9-4mdk_i586.rpm*
cups-drivers-1_0-31mdk_i586.rpm*
libcups1-devel-1_1_9-4mdk_i586.rpm*
cups-common-1_1_9-4mdk_i586.rpm*
libcups1-1_1_9-4mdk_i586.rpm*
and tried to upgrade cups, but;
[root@Skyline cups]# rpm -Uvh cups*
error: failed dependencies:
libcups1 >= 1.1.9-4mdk is needed by cups-1.1.9-4mdk
libcups.so.2 is needed by cups-1.1.9-4mdk
libcupsimage.so.2 is needed by cups-1.1.9-4mdk
libcups1 >= 1.1.9-4mdk is needed by cups-common-1.1.9-4mdk
libcups.so.2 is needed by cups-common-1.1.9-4mdk
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by cups-common-1.1.9-4mdk
ghostscript >= 5.50-65mdk is needed by cups-drivers-1.0-31mdk
libcups.so.2 is needed by cups-drivers-1.0-31mdk
libcupsimage.so.2 is needed by cups-drivers-1.0-31mdk
libcups.so.2 is needed by samba-client-2.0.9-1.1mdk
libcups.so.2 is needed by samba-common-2.0.9-1.1mdk
libcups.so.2 is needed by xpp-0.6-16mdk
libcups.so.2 is needed by samba-2.0.9-1.1mdk
I have tried installing the libcups packages first -- to no avail; see
below:
[root@Skyline cups]# rpm -Uvh lib*
error: failed dependencies:
openssl-devel is needed by libcups1-devel-1.1.9-4mdk
So I'm at a quandry -- Where am I going wrong. I have read about many
successful installs of 2.2.1a over LM 7.2, what I want know is -- How
did you do it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I just love getting
to bed before 0200, and if I get this solved, I probably will.
