samba - Mar 2023 - Updating samba version 4.17.5 to version 4.17.6 from Debian backports - armel architecture

I have several devices, mostly amd64 and armhf architectures, all of which
updated samba to 4.17.6 without any problems.    But one which is armel
architecture failed to update; instead I get the following when I try to update:
root at goflex:~# samba -V
Version 4.17.5-Debian
root at goflex:~# apt update

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

If I try apt dist-upgrade it threatens to remove samba completely.    This box
has been updated using bullseye-backports several times, but this time there is
obviously something amiss.   But what?

Thanks,

Roy

Hi,

Just an idea,

i was moving samba in the last days, i put in my note that i did:
---
$> sudo apt install -t bullseye-backports winbind
**---

So maybe, if you installed the stable winbind and the backported samba 
there are issues.

You might try to remove winbind and reinstall it from backports.

bye
Nicola
