How does one move from a rpm based samba to tar.gz? In other words how do I upgrade from samba-2.2.1a-4 to samba-2.2.6.tar.gz. Do I remove samba : rpm -e samba? And what do I do with the other samba rpm packages: samba-client-2.2.1a-4 & samba-common-2.2.1a-4? Are they included with the tar package? Using RH7.2.

I don't use Redhat, but with Debian samba-client and samba-common are different packages so you'll have to rpm -e samba-client and rpm -e samba-common If this doesn't work, try contacting the package manager and asking him/her what to do. Hope this helps! -----Original Message----- From: samba-admin@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-admin@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Roger Schmeits Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 9:31 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] upgrade samba How does one move from a rpm based samba to tar.gz?

Yes, they're laid out differently - everything is in one RPM as opposed to RedHat's split of samba-client/common/server. So I recommend backing up /etc/samba, and then removing all RedHat Samba RPMs, and then installing the 2.2.6 one provided by Samba themselves. That's all there is to it! http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/redhat/ --Josh
Hi, my problem is: HOW I can upgrade SAMBA from 2.2.7a to 2.2.8a? Thanks for help
hi, I tried to upgrade samba 2.2.7a to 2.2.8 under Suse 8.1. I used command rpm -U name.rpm. After that I get a error message: fehlgeschlagene Paket-Abh?ngigkeiten: samba-client = 2.2.7a wird von samba-2-2-7a-0 gebraucht. I ran the command under root. I got the same error with samba, and samba-doc! Can you help me? Thanks a lot! Guido
