:sad:
my cancer treatment is not going too well and to be pefectly honest I just don't have the energy to look after my work's server right now. Since trying to run the usual updates yesterday I have been getting this error message;
Running rpm_check_debug
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
samba-common is needed by (installed) samba-winbind-3.4.3-1.1.el5.sme.i386
Complete!
(1, [u'Please report this error in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%205&component=yum'])
yum update device-mapper-multipath.i386 kpartx.i386 libsmbclient.i386 libtalloc.i386 samba3x-client.i386 samba3x-common.i386 samba3x-winbind.i386 samba3x.i386 failed: 256
I have tried reading through the bug list but I am lost and getter loster by the minute. Can someone please tell me what to do... apart from curl up in a corner and die :-P

Please use a more technically meaningful title (see suggestion for the sick man at end of this post).
Please also remember that SME8 is still in beta release stage.
That means things can & do change & may need manual intervention.
It also means you need to be proactive in monitoring what is going on re development
progress changes etc, by watching & reading the bug reports, the
forums, & particularly the special pages setup for SME8 that provide
specific information.
On the main wiki page here
http://wiki.contribs.org
is a link to the SME8 page here
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8
Scroll down that page to a section titled
Upgrading Samba
and follow the instructions.
Next time look more thoroughly first.
... apart from curl up in a corner and die
Well before you give up and do that, please see this website for a
very useful adjunct to any traditional treatment you are receiving.
Doctors may be able to kill off the nasty cells, but they are less
skilled at reprogramming the emotional & attitudinal underlying
factors that bring on disease (dis-ease or lack of harmony within ones self).
These Bach Flower Remedies are well proven & have been in use for over 70 years.
You may well find them very useful to assist your condition and keep it in permanent regression.
Find a good Naturopath who uses & prescribes the Bach Flower Remedies.
It is quite common to see need for the "Willow" remedy in cancer sufferers, and it sounds like you may also need "Gorse".

I understand that SME8 is beta but I never intended to get sick. I would normally spend a lot more time looking after things butjust don't have the energy to do so!
I have followed the samba instructions and i am getting the desired outcome;
package samba is not installed
samba3x-3.3.8-0.52.el5_5
but I am still getting the upgrade error;
samba-common is needed by installed) samba-winbind-3.4.3-1.1.e15.sme.i386
Mary I am feeling bad enough just to pay someone to have a look at it for me!
Trust me to Mary I am pretty much in harmony with myself :-) If you help me fix the server I will buy some flowers hehehe

davelister, Rev Dean Thomas (??)
samba-common is needed by installed) samba-winbind-3.4.3-1.1.e15.sme.i386
You may have missed something, perhaps you should do this (again)
rpm -e --nodeps libtalloc libtdb samba samba-client samba-common samba-winbind
and then do
yum update
Trust me to Mary I am pretty much in harmony with myself
Spiritual harmony perhaps, but not emotional & physical.
If you help me fix the server I will buy some flowers
Buying flowers while good, will not help a lot. Buying and using the flower remedies referred to earlier will definitely help, no matter who you are or what your status is, we are all humans and we all have human "foibles".

Thanks for your help Mary... the davelister things is from my favourite TV show - Red Dwarf
I have done as you instructed;
rpm -e --nodeps libtalloc libtdb samba samba-client samba-common samba-winbind
which gives me an output of -
error: package samba is not installed
error: package samba-client is not installed
error: package samba-common is not installed
yum update
but I am still getting the following error when updating;
samba-common is needed by installed) samba-winbind-3.4.3-1.1.e15.sme.i386
-
davelister
what output does this command give
rpm -q samba-winbind
-
davelister
what output does this command give
rpm -q samba-winbind
samba-winbind-3.4.3-1.1.el5.sme
thanks Mary :-)
-
davelister
So it is still installed, perhaps the earlier uninstall command was not fully issued ?
So do
rpm -e --nodeps samba-winbind
check it is not installed
rpm -q samba-winbind
and then try the
yum update
-
thanks Mary problem solved... I can now go back to my bed :-)

It might not be the best place to do this here as part of a thread but I could not find another or better one for what I want to do:
To say "Thank You" to Mary for all your help and support to others in these forums and your patience doing this. You are doing an outstanding job with all your time that you must spend here and how you approach issues and your attitude to help others.

That's a nice complement, thanks.

Hi Everyone,
I encountered this same problem. For the record, here are my error messages:
samba-winbind-3.4.3-1.1.el5.sme.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: samba-common = 3.4.3-1.1.el5.sme is needed by package samba-winbind-3.4.3-1.1.el5.sme.i386 (installed)
tdb-tools-1.1.2-52.el5_5.2.i386 from updates has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: libtdb = 1.1.2-52.el5_5.2 is needed by package tdb-tools-1.1.2-52.el5_5.2.i386 (updates)
Error: Missing Dependency: libtdb = 1.1.2-52.el5_5.2 is needed by package tdb-tools-1.1.2-52.el5_5.2.i386 (updates)
Error: Missing Dependency: samba-common = 3.4.3-1.1.el5.sme is needed by package samba-winbind-3.4.3-1.1.el5.sme.i386 (installed)
Before I try the instructions mentioned above I would like to know if the process will disrupt/disable the "domain" functionality of my server (I need to make sure my users can keep logging). Also, do I understand correctly that SME ver 8 installation files are comming with the wrong version of samba and we need to perform the downgrade just after the fresh installation of the server?
Thank you for your support.

Did you actually read the instructions here ?
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8#Upgrading_samba
It says to remove samba packages BEFORE doing the upgrade. The end of the upgrade requires a post-upgrade and reboot, so there will be temporary disruption.
All users should be disconnected. Your settings and configuration generally of your server will be retained as is the case with all version upgrades.
SME8b5 uses customized versions of samba, whereas SME8b6 uses upstream CentOS versions of the samba rpms.

Dear Mary,
Thank you for your answer.
Your settings and configuration generally of your server will be retained as is the case with all version upgrades.
This is the part of the instructions that was not clear to me after I read all postings and links. Would be better if the statement would refer directly to the samba settings. You may want to consider adding the above "reassurance" statement to the "upgrading samba" chapter of the upgrade instructions for people like me that do not do upgrades too often and have a clear "fear" that an existing functional setup can be destroyed by such an upgrade.
Thank you again for reassuring me that all settings will be in place after the removing of samba and executing the upgrade process.

To give you the absolute assurance you seem to want specifically regarding samba and your individual server is difficult.
If you have made direct changes to smb.conf files then it is possible some of your customisations may be lost on upgrade.
If you have made other non standard changes (not using the SME way), then these may also be lost.
If you make customisations or changes using custom-templates or db settings (ie the SME way), then these will be retained, along with all other data and configuration on the server.
