samba - May 2001 - SAMBA 2.2.0 RPM fails to install

It is working on my RH 6.2 box.
Try using rpm -ihvvv for debuging info

Do you have enough disk space(df -h)?

I have managed to get it to install. John Terpstra suggested'

Using the --nodeps and --force caused the installation to complete ... why,
I'm not sure. There were no reported dependency failures, nor was there an
upgrade failure.

I'm planning to install Samba 2.2 into a fresh RH installation soon; I
won't install the OS copy (which, at least for Zoot, is 2.0.6). I'll try
your suggestion (before trying John's) if I run into any further problems
during install.

Thanks for your help.
