    [SOLVED] samba dependency error

    Ubuntu 8.10 - absolute beginner

    I think I have a problem with my samba in general. When I type:

    sudo apt-get install samba smbfs

    This is what I get:

    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:
    samba: Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3) but 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 is to be installed
    smbfs: Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3) but 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 is to be installed
    E: Broken packages

    I reckon if get that fixed I might be a step closer to get some network printers on my WinXP network going.

    Anybody knows how to fix above error? Any tips will be gratefully received.
