And the bug ID of this issue is? Please include as much as possible information as you have available.
Was this an issue to one of the TDB files?
I think it was the secrets.tbd file, but my memory could be wrong. The solution was easy enough I did not have to ask for help as I recall.
That's the first SUSE user report about a TDB not being migrated correctly with an upgrade. And even at https://bugzilla.samba.org/ I can't find any open issue at the moment. We've implemented a backup approach to dump all TDBs to plain text files before we upgrade the binaries. Till now we have this only in use for a very special use case with SUSE Linux Enterprise 10. There Samba binaries covered by GPLv3 are offered as part of an optional repository. To allow customers a smooth rollback even without btrfs - have I said how cool this stuff is in openSUSE 12.1? :) - we had to implement something as part of the package. As I'm once was bitten by an ugly broken rpm post script issue I try hard to keep as much as possible script magic out of the package. We could do this as part of the YaST install workflow. But then it would not covered the zypper use case.
It was a transition from openSUSE 11.0 => 11.1 I believe and I did not file a bugzilla.
Shame on you Greg! ;) Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
