Package: samba-libs Version: 2:4.1.11+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Hi, after having serious problems with the current cups 1.7 version I have decided to go back to 1.5 version. The downgrade stumbled over samba-libs dependency, though, which in turn requires a lot of downgrades including the whole kde stack from 4.14 to 4.8 resulting in an unpleasant: --- Packages being removed because they are no longer used (66) --- Packages being automatically held in their current state (14) --- Packages being automatically installed to satisfy dependencies (39) --- Packages to be downgraded (90) --- Packages being held back (12) --- Packages to be removed (14)
This looks like a major pain just because of a single dependency. So I was curious whether samba-libs really needs libcups >= 1.6 or it would work with older versions as well. I cannot seem to find anything in the changelog that would mentioned bump up of the dependency because of a bug or feature. The previous libsmbclient which seems to be behind most of the dependency hell didn't depend on samba at all Version: 2:3.6.6-6+deb7u4 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.10), libcap2 (>= 2.10), libcomerr2 (>= 1.01), libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.10+dfsg~), libk5crypto3 (>= 1.6.dfsg.2), libkrb5-3 (>= 1.10+dfsg~), libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7), libtalloc2 (>= 2.0.4~git20101213), libtdb1 (>= 1.2.7+git20101214), libwbclient0 (>= 2:3.6.0~pre3), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) This leaves a hope that 1.6 dependency came with the new samba-libs which used the current up-to-date libcups version. But I might be completely wrong here of course. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.17.0-rc7 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages samba-libs depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-2 ii libasn1-8-heimdal 1.6~rc2+dfsg-8 ii libattr1 1:2.4.47-2 ii libbsd0 0.7.0-2 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libcap2 1:2.24-6 ii libcomerr2 1.42.12-1 ii libcups2 1.7.5-3 ii libgnutls-deb0-28 3.3.8-2 ii libgssapi3-heimdal 1.6~rc2+dfsg-8 ii libhcrypto4-heimdal 1.6~rc2+dfsg-8 ii libhx509-5-heimdal 1.6~rc2+dfsg-8 ii libkrb5-26-heimdal 1.6~rc2+dfsg-8 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.39-1.1+b1 ii libldb1 1:1.1.17-1 ii libntdb1 1.0-5 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpopt0 1.16-10 ii libpython2.7 2.7.8-7 ii libtalloc2 2.1.1-2 ii libtdb1 1.3.1-1 ii libtevent0 0.9.21-1 ii libwbclient0 2:4.1.11+dfsg-1 ii multiarch-support 2.19-11 ii python-talloc 2.1.1-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 samba-libs recommends no packages. samba-libs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Michal Hocko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
