[Samba] Replacing debian packages with compiled source
The Samba that is packaged for Xandros 2.0 seems to be broken; at least, mine keeps giving me "segmentation fault" errors. I've tried wiping it out and re-installing it, but it hasn't helped. Recently I decided to get the latest version of Samba and compile it from source, which, to my amazement, actually worked. Now, before I try "make install," I would like to know: which existing packages do I need to remove? I know the base samba package will have to go, but I don't know which other ones also have to be deleted, versus which ones are actually separate -- for example, I think smbclient is separate, but I'm not sure. I presume "make install" will overwrite any files in the way, but I'd rather clear out the old stuff before doing the install. On the other hand, I don't want to remove related packages that I need to use Samba on that computer. Thanks, Derek Croxton
