Description Willard Dawson 2009-10-02 17:49:22 UTC 
Clearly, because of the ebuild:

DEPEND="!<net-fs/samba-3.0.25"



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge --update world
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Cannot upgrade samba due to dependency of mount-cifs on down-level version.

Expected Results:  
Would like to upgrade samba...

mount-cifs is included in >samba-client-3.3 so just unemerge mount-cifs and upgarde net-fs/samba-client
Comment 3 Oleg Mikheev 2010-06-02 06:20:26 UTC 
I'm dealing with the same issue right now.
samba-client is a masked package.
So you fixed the bug as invalid by recommending to emerge a masked package which is not a very good approach I believe.
Also, cifs is a new name for samba, or at least that's what most people think, so it's not a good approach to replace cifs with samba, or is cifs is getting renamed back to samba? What are the latest naming trends out there?
Comment 4 Oleg Mikheev 2010-06-02 06:32:10 UTC 
Ok, the good solution as of now would be installing the samba monolithic package with "-* client" in package.use
