2009-03-20 07:16:13 Thierry Carrez samba: statusexplanation Looks like package information is out of sync... You should refresh package info in Update Manager, apply updates, then try installing smbfs again. Well, it should be allowed to proceed only if you are sure that smbfs will work with all later versions of libsmbclient, which might not be the case. Anyway, the problem here seems to be that you enabled -updates or -security at one point, got samba common...-1ubuntu3.4 installed. Then -updates or -security were disabled and you were left with only the release packages... So installing smbfs would try to install -1ubuntu3. I'll close this as Invalid since you solved it. I'd recommend adding the -security repository again, apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to get all the packages at the -1ubuntu3.4 level.
