Topic: Update4 of SME 5.6 errors

[Kobus Bensch]

When I try to load Update4 it gives me a few dependancy errors.

# rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs SMEServer-5.6_Update4-02.noarch.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        samba-common >= 2.2.7-3.7.3es1 is needed by SMEServer-5.6_Update4-02
        samba >= 2.2.7-3.7.3es1 is needed by SMEServer-5.6_Update4-02
        samba-client >= 2.2.7-3.7.3es1 is needed by SMEServer-5.6_Update4-02
# rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3es1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        samba-common = 2.2.5 is needed by samba-client-2.2.5-10
        samba-common = 2.2.5 is needed by samba-2.2.5-10

Where can I download pre update4 updates to get to the right level to update the above. Any help would be appreciated.

I may be stating the obvioux here but http://www.e-smith.org/article.php3 indicates that you should install by executing:

rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm.

That assumes that you have downloaded all the packages in the update4 directory on the FTP site, and they are all in the same directory on you server.

Download sites can be obtained from here:

Then again you may have already known this; in that case sorry but I can help no further.

I had a similar problem, try;

1. rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --nodeps samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3es1.i386.rpm

2. move or delete the samba rpm's

3. Continue with "rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *" as noted in
    http://www.e-smith.org/article.php3

My problem was caused by an earlier in stall of 2.2.7a.
