Attempting to upgrade samba broke samba:


Regards,

Jim

Which repos? sid? testing? stable? More details needed.

I'm using testing repo, rolling release.

I have managed to upgrade both 64 bit and 32 bit testing without issues. Perhaps at the time you upgraded, there was a glitch in the repos. Try again, maybe by purging all of samba if apt-get -f install does not help.

Nuff said.

As instructed, I downloaded the file 4th time from atom.io, then the installation process finished and I can open atom.

Nope, I tried it TWICE orignally before posting.  I just tried it AGAIN this morning, SAME FAILURE.  I've upgraded MANY other packages in the meantime with NO ISSUES!  There HAS to be something wrong with THIS package!  I'm running 32bit Antix.

Here are my repositories:

lPlease fix CORRUPTED file smbpasswd.5.gz

Ok.

Did you

maybe by purging all of samba if apt-get -f install does not help.

I used to have to do that myself back when I ran AntiX 11 with Testing. I'd use the locate command to find what I needed to purge.

I'm telling you, it's a CORRUPT smbpasswd.5.gz

Looking at the files in man5 shows:
1722 Sep 20 16:22 lmhosts.5.gz
104748 Sep 20 16:22 smb.conf.5.gz
 512 Sep 30 09:28 smbpasswd.5.gz  <---- CORRUPTED?!

whereas doing the same thing on the archived previous version of this package (samba-common-bin_2%3a4.6.7+dfsg-1.0nosystemd1_i386.deb) shows:

1723 Aug 16 21:43 lmhosts.5.gz
104753 Aug 16 21:43 smb.conf.5.gz
2854 Aug 16 21:43 smbpasswd.5.gz

Note that smbpasswd.5.gz DECREASED from 2854 to 512 bytes, the others only changed slightly between the two version!

OK - I see the problem now. Will fix as soon as I have time.

Can you try installing the appropriate deb from the link below (using dpkg).
You might need an apt-get -f install after.

If this works the all I need to do is faulty deb in our repos with the place the correct ones.

Thank you Anti!
It was just easier to download the deb from your link above and run dpkg -i and it worked perfectly!

Thanks again,

Jim
