[Bug 345330] Re: smbfs, samba & samba-common are uninstallable
Well, it should be allowed to proceed only if you are sure that smbfs will work with all later versions of libsmbclient, which might not be the case. Anyway, the problem here seems to be that you enabled -updates or -security at one point, got samba common...-1ubuntu3.4 installed. Then -updates or -security were disabled and you were left with only the release packages... So installing smbfs would try to install -1ubuntu3. I'll close this as Invalid since you solved it. I'd recommend adding the -security repository again, apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to get all the packages at the -1ubuntu3.4 level. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- smbfs, samba & samba-common are uninstallable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345330 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 345330] Re: smbfs, samba & samba-common are uninstallable
Thanks for replying to this bug Thierry. I did also try installing these packages using Synaptic, after refreshing the package info, but received the same error message. I have now successfully installed samba by using aptitude, which issues the same error but offers to resolve this by down grading the already installed samba-common package to 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3. While I now have a working samba server I believe that there is a problem with the dependency specification for these packages i.e. the install should be allowed to proceed if the user has a later version of the required package. -- smbfs, samba & samba-common are uninstallable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345330 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 345330] Re: smbfs, samba & samba-common are uninstallable
Looks like package information is out of sync... You should refresh package info in Update Manager, apply updates, then try installing smbfs again. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- smbfs, samba & samba-common are uninstallable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345330 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
