Hi all,

I'm using Fedora 17 on my workstation but I'm having issue to upgrade my
system. I think someone pushed some Alpha packages to the "updates-testing"
repository. Does any one know if this is expected? The output below shows
"yum update --skip-broken".

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
   1:libsmbclient-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
   pytalloc-2.0.7-4.fc17.x86_64 from fedora
   1:samba4-client-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
   1:samba4-common-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
   1:samba4-dc-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
   1:samba4-dc-libs-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
   1:samba4-libs-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing

Not really. It looks like samba4 is being positioned to replace samba post beta in F17. This doesn't seem like a great idea to me, but probably will work out.

The most recent change had libsmbclient4 change to libsmbclient. However since libsmbclient client now depends on samba4 stuff (samba4-common) instead instead samba stuff, updating libsmbclient needs samba4 stuff installed. The problem is that samba4 stuff conflicts with samba stuff and samba4 stuff doesn't obsolete samba stuff. I was planning on filing a bug about this issue if there isn't already one.

If you want to switch from samba to samba4 you can do it in yum shell without having to uninstall all of the stuff that depends on samba.
