Armbian Bullseye - Not possible to install samba

[arnaudf]

Hello,

 

I'm facing a weird issue. After removing Samba version 4.17 I'm not able to install anymore Samba 4.13 (I would like to use this version for libnss-wins compat').

I'm checked some web ressources with no success.

 

You will see below the output of many (interesting?) command.

If anyone could help me on this issue it could be nice. Sorry for the big post.

Hello,

 

For later reference : I found a (the?) solution. Basically it consisted in putting Bookworm repo links in sources.list. Then I upgraded a bunch of packages (more than 400).

Don't know if there is any side-effect.

The only issue I faced was the name of network interface that changed from eth0 to end0. The workaround was to put a "rename" statement in /etc/network/interfaces.
