Matt,
When you uninstalled Samba, did you use rpm -e samba? (Along with all
the related samba-<something> rpms?)
The typical Red Hat packages of Samba has samba and samba-common and
also samba-client packages. All three of those must be removed to
uninstall Samba.
If you did that and are unable to locate any trace of those files. Then
you could always give --force a go. (I would seriously make sure that
there are NO old Samba files around before you do that...)

Subject: Repair Rpm database: Samba install
Hey there Linux peeps,
I have recently uninstalled samba-2.2.5 rpm.
For some reason I can't reinstall the rpm using:
rpm -i (rpm to install)
It acts like it attempts then basically by checking for dependancies and
then it quits. Anyone have an idear? I have tried rpm --rebuilddb already
with no change.
Oh, BTW I try to install the 2.2.7a RPM and it tells me there is a
conflict installing it due to "2.2.5" being on the system. 2.2.5 is off
the system. Obviously a LOG is being kept, and "rpm --rebuilddb" did not
fix it. So, I can't even install the 2.2.7a version.
Any idears!?
Thanks,
