samba - Jul 2004 - Upgrade question - please be gentle!

Hello

I am planning to upgrade our production samba server (3.0.3pre2-SuSE on 
SuSE 9.0, kernel 2.6.5-10) tonight to 3.0.5. Is there anything I should 
know about things breaking during this upgrade? I will just do it with 
`rpm -Uvh --repackage samba*` - I have tried this on a test server and 
it seems to work ok, but if anyone has some info that might be useful I 
would be grateful!

Thanks
H

Thanks for you help, I tried to update with rpm -Uvh and it found a lot 
of failed dependencies: liblber.so.199, libldap.so.199, libpopt.so.199 
etc - did you have these same problems?

Hi,
i updated my systems with the killing method
rpm --nodeps --force
i know this is not charming but it worked with the suse packs since 
samba 3.0 up to samba 3.04
but i strongly recommend to test this first on a test system !!!!
Best Regards
