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 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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).
