Is anyone else having problems with the Inverse Samba packages not upgrading on Ubuntu 14.04?

There seems to be a problem as shown by Rowland Penny (Samba) below. Can Inverse confirm?

Would upgrading to Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic complete the upgrade? Or, purging the 'winbind' packages?

Were the Inverse packages built on the Utopic kernel? At this point, I cannot complete the SOGo upgrade.

I asked the Samba mailing list, and they suggested the problem was the differences between the Ubuntu and Inverse packages. They suggested I change the installed status and attempt to "force" installation.

That failed, however, and now I wonder where to go from here?

Is 'winbind' actually needed for my installation? It is not running on my Samba-AD-DC

adam@sogo:~$ sudo initctl list | egrep 'samba|smb|mnb|winbind'
winbind stop/waiting
smbd stop/waiting
reload-smbd stop/waiting
samba-ad-dc start/running, process 807

here are the packages installed on my server

adam@sogo:~$ sudo dpkg-query -l | egrep 'samba|smb|nmb|winbind'
ii  libnss-winbind:amd64 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.7

ii  smbclient 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.7
ii  winbind 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.7

Since the suggestion above is to purge Samba, it would be better to purge 'winbind' instead.

The error involves the post-install script which the Samba mailing list considers the problem.

Is there a source for the Samba 2:4.1.18+dfsg packages with a different post-install script? Or, will purging the 'winbind' packages resolve my issue with upgrading my Samba-AD-DC installation? Any suggestions?

thx



Rowland Penny recreated my problem in a VM (similar to my setup)

here's the content of his e-mail --

OK, there appears to be something wrong with the inverse samba packages, I created a VM, installed latest Ubuntu 14.04 server, updated this, installed samba:

apt-get install samba samba-common samba-common-bin samba-dev samba-dsdb-modules samba-libs samba-vfs-modules smbclient winbind python-samba libnss-winbind libpam-winbind libsmbclient libwbclient0

didn't do anything else except added:

deb http://inverse.ca/ubuntu-nightly trusty trusty

To /etc/apt/sources.list

ran 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get upgrade'

This lead to:

The following packages have been kept back:
libldb-dev libldb1 libnss-winbind libpam-winbind libsmbclient libwbclient0
  linux-generic-lts-utopic linux-headers-generic-lts-utopic
linux-image-generic-lts-utopic python-ldb python-samba samba samba-common samba-common-bin samba-dev samba-dsdb-modules samba-libs samba-vfs-modules
  smbclient winbind
The following packages will be upgraded:
libparse-pidl-perl libtalloc-dev libtalloc2 libtdb-dev libtdb1 libtevent0
  python-talloc python-tdb tdb-tools
9 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 20 not to upgrade.
Need to get 468 kB of archives.
After this operation, 253 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

Installed the packages and then ran 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get upgrade' again

Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
libldb-dev libldb1 libnss-winbind libpam-winbind libsmbclient libwbclient0
  linux-generic-lts-utopic linux-headers-generic-lts-utopic
linux-image-generic-lts-utopic python-ldb python-samba samba samba-common samba-common-bin samba-dev samba-dsdb-modules samba-libs samba-vfs-modules
  smbclient winbind
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 20 not to upgrade.

I 'think' I could probably force the upgrade with 'apt-get dist-upgrade', but I also think I wouldn't be running Trusty any more due to the installation of the Utopic kernel.

therefore, Inverse packages *must* be borked, if they will not cleanly upgrade standard distro packages.

I think the Samba mailing list has gone the second mile in trying to help me upgrade Samba.

I'm needing a resolution from Inverse or an alternative source for the Samba packages.

thx

(I'm patient!  I know it's the weekend.)
