Samba error on clean RH9 install

[NRaygun]

I installed a fresh copy of Redhat 9 and installed Samba 3.0.4-1 using this:

rpm -Uvh samba-3.0.4-1_rh9.i386.rpm

then I get this at the end:

error: %postun(samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0) scriptlet failed, exit status 1


Samba appears to work, but I'm a little hestitant to put anything of significance on this machine.

Any ideas? Should I be concerned?

Looks like a botched postun in the package. You might reinstall with a different build. Tried the "yum" packages yet?

What's a postun?

This is the latest build from Samba.org.

What's a "yum" package?

 

[Nothinman]

postun is most likely the post-uninstall script. I would try removing samba completely and installing the new RPM after that, perhaps the 2.2->3 upgrade is broken.

yum is a framework like apt that makes RPMs manageable.

Thanks for the postun info. Since Samba seems to work, I might just leave it alone.
