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".

You are running F17-BETA.....
You want this list.... test(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
But, the answer is....known issue. Wait a bit....

Hi all,
Aside from posting to the wrong-list,
what the problem?
Did you check is Samba4 the Alpha?
f17 is currently at Beta not alpha.

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

That is normal Fedora practice for pre-GA Branched.
fedora.repo & updates-testing.repo
which on GA, updates-testing.repo gets disabled,
updates.repo gets enabled.

Hi all,
Thanks for all feedback! Sorry about post question to the wrong list and
about my poor problem description. Let me try explain better:
I never decided to install Samba or Samba4 in my workstation, these
packages were installed by default. I know that I'm using F17 that is still
in beta, but I didn't know that alpha packages were being pushed to that
repository. My problem is basically that Yum is not able to upgrade my
system without use "--skip-broken".
Since Ed Greshko confirmed that is a known issue, I'll wait the fix. What
is very confusing is why do we have alpha packages in a beta repo?
Again, sorry about any inconvenience.
Best regards,
Davi Garcia

Yes, the problem here is that some samba4 packages were pushed to
updates-testing that are marked as Obsoleting or otherwise replacing
their samba 3.x counterpart. This is bad, and anyone hitting this issue
should be adding negative karma to the update (as I am about to do).

Replying to myself, I see that a fixed package is already built and is
pending the next push to the updates-testing repository.

finally "samba4" is alpha and will be for the near future
you decided to install "samba4" instead of "samba"
That conclusion is/was wrong. A normal "yum update" resulted in above
broken dependencies due to packaging mistakes in the test-update.
More can be read about it in the Fedora Updates System (bodhi) as
well as bugzilla. That test-update has been obsoleted meanwhile.

Not really. It looks like samba4 is being positioned to replace samba
post beta in F17. This doesn't seem like a great idea to me, but probably
will work out.
The most recent change had libsmbclient4 change to libsmbclient. However
since libsmbclient client now depends on samba4 stuff (samba4-common) instead
instead samba stuff, updating libsmbclient needs samba4 stuff installed.
The problem is that samba4 stuff conflicts with samba stuff and samba4
stuff doesn't obsolete samba stuff. I was planning on filing a bug about
this issue if there isn't already one.
If you want to switch from samba to samba4 you can do it in yum shell
without having to uninstall all of the stuff that depends on samba.
