I'm setting up a debian squeeze file server with NFS mounted home
directories and authentication via ldap. Now I want to give Windows users
access to those same home directories. I thought I'd try samba4. I figure I
have nothing to lose since this is a virtual machine and if I don't like the
results, I can just restore from a snapshot. Its not a production machine
yet.
I'd prefer to install from debian packages because that will make the
upgrade to samba4 seameless once samba4 is in the stable repository. If I
install from a tarball, its probably not going to install stuff where debian
likes it. But I figure that even a package from experimental will install
most stuff where it belongs in debian. I've installed packages from
experimental & unstable on systems running debian stable before but this
time it doesn't work. Blow is my sources.list and a screen cap of the
output from the apt-get attempt:
# Sources.list
deb http://debian.mirrors.tds.net/debian/ experimental main
deb http://debian.mirrors.tds.net/debian/ unstable main
# end sources.list
# apt-get install -fy samba4

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
samba4 : Depends: libdcerpc0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgensec0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libldb0 but it is not installable
Depends: libndr-standard0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libndr0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsamba-hostconfig0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsamba-util0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-samba but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: samba-ldb-tools but it is not going to be installed

See http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/samba4.html I suspect that samba4 uploaded yesterday by Jelmer in experimental will solve this, but this package introduces new binary packages and is therefore waiting in the NEW queue, for being processed by Debian ftpmasters (any source package introducing binaries goes this way).
