Bug 941298 – net-fs/samba-4.21 will not install because of file conflicts with ldb which is required in the ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description Harris Landgarten 2024-10-12 03:22:38 UTC]

Every attempt to emerge samba-4.21 fails even after removing samba-4.20.2 because of file collisions with ldb. The release notes for samba-4.21 say the following:

NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================

LDB no longer a standalone tarball
----------------------------------

LDB, Samba's LDAP-like local database and the power behind the Samba
AD DC, is no longer available to build as a distinct tarball, but is
instead provided as an optional public library.

If you need ldb as a public library, say to build sssd, then use
 ./configure --private-libraries='!ldb'

This re-integration allows LDB tests to use the Samba's full selftest
system, including our knownfail infrastructure, and decreases the work
required during security releases as a coordinated release of the ldb
tarball is not also required.

This approach has been demonstrated already in Debian, which is already
building Samba and LDB is this way.

As part of this work, the pyldb-util public library, not known to be
used by any other software, is made private to Samba.

LDB Module API Python bindings removed
--------------------------------------

The LDB Modules API, which we do not promise a stable ABI or API for,
was wrapped in python in early LDB development.  However that wrapping
never took into account later changes, and so has not worked for a
number of years.  Samba 4.21 and LDB 2.10 removes this unused and
broken feature.


The samba-4.21 rebuild should be masked until the ldb dependence is sorted out.

    ldb is now bundled with samba but only available privately by default.
    This commit makes it available as a public shared library again.
