It appears that the devuan repo is not pulling in the newer samba 4.2 but 
rather the older 4.1 programs of samba-libs and samba-common.  Is Devuan's 
security repo functioning now?  I have read that it is and that it isn't, so I 
am unsure and I wanted to let someone know about this.


I have a new beta (dvd) install and this is my sources.list:


deb http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main contrib non-free
#deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free


When I try to pull security updates from the devuan repo, It wants to remove 
samba.  I get this:

root@server:/home/user# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and 
are no longer required:
  libhdb9-heimdal libkdc2-heimdal python-dnspython samba-dsdb-modules
  tdb-tools
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  samba samba-common-bin
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libldb1 libsmbclient python-ldb python-samba samba-dsdb-modules samba-libs
6 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 6,702 kB of archives.
After this operation, 11.9 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


In digging a little further, I try to install a samba related program 
"libnss-winbind" with the devuan security repo, and I get this information 
along with a failure to continue:

 Depends: samba-common (=2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u2) but 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u2 is 
to be installed
 Depends: winbind but it is not going to be installed
 Depends: samba-libs (=2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u2) but 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u2 is to 
be installed



When I try to update from the debian security repo, it does not want to remove 
samba, and it updates samba correctly with no errors:

root@server:/home/user# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and 
are no longer required:
  libgssapi3-heimdal libheimntlm0-heimdal libkdc2-heimdal
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libldb1 libsmbclient python-ldb python-samba samba samba-common
  samba-common-bin samba-dsdb-modules samba-libs
9 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 8,578 kB of archives.
After this operation, 1,213 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


 For some reason, the devuan security "merged" repo is not picking up the newer 
debian samba programs.  It did pick up some other security updates though.  It 
has been like this for three days.  I thought the issue would correct itself, 
but it hasn't, yet.
