samba - Mar 2002 - Upgrading from Samba 2.2.1a to 2.2.3a

I get the error "file {filename} from install of samba-2.2.3a-20020206
conflicts with file from package samba-client-2.2.1a-4" where filename is
various files.

How do I upgrade to 2.2.3a and not have these conflicts?

I have seen somewhere before that one has to uninstall the previous version
of Samba (in a certain order) before the new one can be installed.  However,
I cannot find the commands to do so.  Can someone please help?

Thanks,
Kevin Bramblett

samba-2.2.3a-20020206 is one rpm that replaces samba, samba-client and
samba-common, at least in RH. The reason for this is just how different
package builders like to do things ...

You can avoid this by getting samba-2.2.3a from the distro you use. I
believe most have an experimental version that uses the latest samba
release (look on your nearest distro ftp mirror in updates, beta, rawhide,
cooker or whatever it may be called).

man rpm

rpm -e samba samba-client samba-common

If you have made changes to your smb.conf it will be saved.

I've got redhat 7.2 here and I just did an rpm -e sama-client and
samba-common and then installed the redhat rpm from samba.org, worked
fine here.
