I reran the software updates this morning and they all went through fine!

Problem is indeed fixed now.

A big thank you to our diligent developers!

Hello all -
I have tried all suggestions on this topic, including updating my mirrors per Chris's forum post and I still cannot get around the samba3x issue.

The Bug report (7210) seems to state that this should be fixed with a normal yum update, but it is definitely not, at least in my case. The bug also states not to use the "smeupdates-testing upgrade" part, because it will possibly add packages that are not functioning. I'm missing something.  Can anyone advise what the actual steps to fixing this are?

Thanks,
Nick

did you follow what i suggested.

Hello -
Yes, I've tried to do what you've suggested. When I shut off Centos-os updates, I was able to complete the other updates and the server manager says that the system is up to date. Then I turn Centos-os updates back on, refresh and it shows all of the OS updates that are available (lots). I try to apply them and get the same samba3x error.

Nick, did you disable both centos selections or just one?
I disabled both centos. Did the update thru the manager panel. Then turned the 2 centos selections back on.

[genisys]

Yes, in server-manager, I unselected:

     CentOS - os
     CentOS - updates

And selected ONLY:

     SME Server - extras

When I do this, the server says it's up to date. Of course when I turn the above back on, there are updates available and I can't apply them due to samba3x issue.

Hi Stefano,

I went ahead and created a new bug. I didn't do this previously, because they were marked FIXED, however I see now, that I should have.

Thanks,

My problem was resolved, http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7402

I had to reset my yum configuration:

     mv /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories /tmp
     /etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases
     expand-template /etc/yum.smerepos.d/sme-base.repo

Then just update the server via yum as usual.

Thanks for all the responses!

Nick
