I am not sure what to make of these messages, but I have very little
experience in running a samba server. It seems like the daemons start
up
OK now.

You have to set up the exported folders, printers, authorized users,
etc. again. Purging the samba packages removed all your configuration
files, but since we could not isolate the cause of your problem we did
not have much choice. See Greg's recent mail for tips about samba
administration.
I now have samba set up to share the printer with the Windows machines
on my network, which is all I need. Thanks very much for your help
Florian. Thanks also to Greg.
I think you can now also restore the rest of your system (your libc6
version was OK, by the way.) I would do it like this:
1) Comment out all unofficial repositories (including
debian-multimedia)
in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
2) Run "aptitude update" and then
aptitude search '~i!~Odebian'
to get a list of all unofficial/obsolete packages. Save this list
of
packages. Verify that nothing important is on the list and run
aptitude remove '~i!~Odebian'
(Ask here if you are unsure about what is important.)
I have done the above search and saved the list to a file. I do not
think there is anything important that could not be re-installed on the
list, but I would appreciate it if you would let me know if you agree.

3) Now your system should be clean and it should be possible to
reinstall the Debian packages that were removed because they were
broken earlier.
4) After that has been done you can include debian-multimedia and
other
unofficial repositories again in your sources.list. Make sure to
change "sarge" to "etch" where necessary. Then run "aptitude
update"
and it should be possible to install all the extra packages you
want
(e.g. w32codecs).

My sources.list points to 'stable'.
Thanks again.
