[Samba] Problem upgrading Samba on Solaris 8 - getting "requires that a unique instance error"
Running Solaris 8 in a Sun E-250 and when I attempted to upgrade a working Samba install from version 3.0.24 to version 3.0.25a I got this error: ------------------------------------------ # pkgadd -d samba-3.0.25a-sol8-sparc-local The following packages are available: 1 SMCsamba samba (sparc) 3.0.25a Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: all Processing package instance <SMCsamba> from </var/tmp/Samba3.0.25a/samba-3.0.25a-sol8-sparc-local> samba (sparc) 3.0.25a Current administration requires that a unique instance of the <SMCsamba> package be created. However, the maximum number of instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the same system has already been met. No changes were made to the system. ------------------------------------------------------ The command "pkginfo -l |grep -i samba" shows PKGINST: SMCsamba NAME: samba VENDOR: The Samba Group PKGINST: samba VENDOR: Samba Team EMAIL: samba@samba.org Do I need to run the command "pkgrm SMCsamba" and then run the upgrade again?
