Hi guys, I'm running debian 2.2r3 but i've got samba 2.2.0a compiled from unstable
#apt-get -b source samba with deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free in my sources list I want to get the new samba 2.2.1 as the samba team have said its recommended for production servers. two questions: 1) will a straight "dpkg -i foo.deb" suffice for the upgrade? (once i get the source down and built) or do i need to do something more arcane? 2)at the moment i get a string of errors like so: # apt-get -b source samba Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Need to get 6156kB of source archives.
