https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D219036 Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assignee|pkg@FreeBSD.org |freebsd-bugs-ports@FreeBSD. | |org --- Comment #2 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@FreeBSD.org> --- this is not a pkg bug, but an infrastructure bug. samba44 is not an older version of samba46 from pkg point of view this is 2 different software: 2 different names. the library provided by samba44 and samba46 cannot be replaced on binaries = as they are do not have the same ABI (iirc). The right solution to avoid such situation is to have a package (only one providing) the default client part: only libraries might be ok. and the oth= er samba ports to be installed elsewhere: /usr/local/samba<version> or with a symlink in /usr/local/bin for all the binaries (suffixed by the version) so they don't conflict with each others and their binaries using a proper RPAT= H so they find their libs in /usr/local/samba<version>/lib before anything else. That way the user could decide which version of samba they want to install/= use and whatever is the version of the libsmb used by default by other packages. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
