So, I have other domain member file servers running 4.17.3 but these are 64-bit
platforms
and these are working properly, so as above it looks like it affects 32-bit
systems only.    So if I want to
revert to the previous version (4.17.2) on this system am I forced to
self-compile as there doesn't seem
to be any repository supporting this version and armel architecture?

Thanks,
Roy

The Debian Samba packages seem to be available for armel, see here:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=samba

However, they are 4.17.3, so if they are not working for you, then yes, 
you will probably have to compile Samba yourself. Your other option is 
to wait for 4.17.4 as the regression has been fixed.
