Help Me With apt & Samba
|
|
| Chetsnuts 2004-01-23, 7:11 pm |
| Hi,
I'm running RHL 7.0 for a couple of years now.
I posted asking how to upgrade my Samba because I now have WinXP clients and
I need to upgrade Samba make it to work with XP.
I got a suggestion to use apt.
I DL'd apt and installed and initialized it.
I cannot get it to upgrade my Samba, which is version 2.0.10 - ootb RHL 7.0.
It always says either, "The follwing 8 packages will be upgraded", of which
Samba is not one - or, "The version of Samba you have is already up to
date", which it most definitely is not.
Is there a way to get this done with apt?
I've tried other ways but there are always dependencie issues. Someone
called it dependency hell, (a side of Linux I find increasingly disturbing
as my version gets older and older).
I'd rather not get into upgrade hell at this point since I have FTP, HTTP
and SSH all configured as well as my game servers and a zillion other
details - you know how tweaked you can get a system in a couple of years!
Can ayone help?
TIA
Chet

| I think apt or apt get is for Debian. Go to the Samba website and download
the rpm file for Samba.
