BT 5 R2 KDE 64bit - installing samba Broken packages

[sp000k3y]

Hello,

I am trying to install samba, I never faced this problem with other backtrack distro's but on the new BT5 R2 when running the command

apt-get update
apt-get install samba

I get the following error

Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done

E: Broken packages


Does this really mean that I have requested an impossible situation? anybody know how to fix this? I need samba for the nmbd and smbd services

Hello zimmaro,

It didnt work =(

When I load the live CD and run the "apt-get install samba" it installs fine but when I do apt-get update and then the apt-get install samba I get that error message

I am still in the middle of my linux+ course but I thought I would try asking in here why this happens after the apt-get update

I appreciate your help thank you

The solution for me was to use aptitude with the following command:

aptitude install samba

aptitude install samba

aptitude didn't install it.

I had to do this command to install samba4

apt-get install samba4

now everything works.

[breadfan]

just want to add what worked for me.
fistly i entered:
#apt-get install samba4
and received info about unresolved dependancies (some packages cannot be installed).
BT asked me to do the following:
#apt-get -f install
notice that no package name should be given to the above. type Y if asked to.
Then again type:
#apt-get install samba4
All is going to be installed. For me it was over 300MB. sound too much...


I just followed BT - it asked me to do the following (After I got the message with unresolved dependancies):
