Topic: latest samba update 3 x samba-common?

[elmarconi]

After last yum update I noticed that I now have 3 versions of samba-common installed:

Code: [Select]

[root@smeserver ~]# rpm -q samba-common
samba-common-3.0.28-0.el4.9
samba-common-3.0.33-0.17.el4
samba-common-3.0.33-0.18.el4_8
Shouldn't old versions be erased, or is this only after the
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Is this by design or is this a reason to fire up the bugzilla search?

You should do a bugzilla-search: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5432

Actually, you don't have 3 versions of samba-common installed, the two old ones have just not been deleted from the rpm database. So just delete those:

Code: [Select]

rpm -e samba-common-3.0.28-0.el4.9
rpm -e samba-common-3.0.33-0.17.el4

I was planning to do so (Check bugzilla), but end of office hours (CET) made me forget. Thanks for the info and follow-up.
