 Hi all,

 I'm using Fedora 17 on my workstation but I'm having issue to upgrade my system.
I think someone pushed some Alpha
 packages to the "updates-testing" repository. Does any one know if this is
expected? The output below shows "yum
 update --skip-broken".

 Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
     1:libsmbclient-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
     pytalloc-2.0.7-4.fc17.x86_64 from fedora
     1:samba4-client-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
     1:samba4-common-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
     1:samba4-dc-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
     1:samba4-dc-libs-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing
     1:samba4-libs-4.0.0-41alpha18.fc17.x86_64 from updates-testing 
first you are using a beta version of fedora
additionally you are using updates-testing on a beta-release

finally "samba4" is alpha and will be for the near future
you decided to install "samba4" instead of "samba"

even Fedora 18 will contain samba-3.x for now
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=360

so why are you explicitly installing alpha software on beta-release?
what do you expect now?

downgrade to regular samba or simply wait / skip-broken for some time
