need help uninstalling old samba version

**LBmtb** · 05-11-2005

I'm trying to uninstall samba 3.0.10-1.fc3 to install the new version but run into problems when trying to uninstall samba-client and samba-common.

Here's what I get

Code:

# rpm -e samba-client
error&#58; Failed dependencies&#58;
        samba-client is needed by &#40;installed&#41; authconfig-gtk-4.6.5-3.1.i386
        samba-client is needed by &#40;installed&#41; AutoScan-0.95-1.i386

and

Code:

# rpm -e samba-common-3.0.10-1.fc3
error&#58; Failed dependencies&#58;
        libsmbclient.so.0 is needed by &#40;installed&#41; gnome-vfs2-smb-2.8.2-8.i386
        libsmbclient.so.0 is needed by &#40;installed&#41; kdebase-3.3.0-8.i386
        libsmbclient.so.0 is needed by &#40;installed&#41; AutoScan-0.95-1.i386
        samba-common is needed by &#40;installed&#41; authconfig-gtk-4.6.5-3.1.i386
        samba-common >= 3.0.8-0.pre1.3 is needed by &#40;installed&#41; gnome-vfs2-smb-2.8.2-8.i386
        samba-common = 0&#58;3.0.10 is needed by &#40;installed&#41; samba-client-3.0.10-1.fc3.i386

Thanks in advance

Code:

rpm -e samba-client --no-deps

then install the new one right away to prevent breakage.

Greetings,

Did you tried to upgrade the Samba package b4 uninstalling it as the new package of Samba will look for more dependency files. So, I wud suggest you to do an upgrade instead on uninstalling it using -iUvh option.
