Well. F22 is an *pre-release*, remember. By running F22 you are a tester; this is why updates-testing is enabled by default for Branched releases. You can, however, disable it, if you want to let other people do the testing for you. Besides, this is clearly not a straightforward bug, because it's not affecting everyone. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-6842/samba-4.2.1 -4.fc22 It didn't happen to me: [adamw@adam isos]$ rpm -q libwbclient libwbclient-4.2.1-4.fc22.x86_64 [adamw@adam isos]$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libwbclient.so.0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 Apr 27 10:17 /usr/lib64/libwbclient.so.0 -> libwbclient.so.0.12 adamw@adam isos]$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libwbclient.so.0.12 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 40 Apr 27 10:17 /usr/lib64/libwbclient.so.0.12 -> /etc/alternatives/libwbclient.so.0.12-64 alternatives is always fragile, and I don't know why the package is using this system, but it doesn't *always* go wrong. There must be some other factor involved which causes the system to get broken in some cases but not others. The use of alternatives for wbclient was introduced in Nov 2014: * Fri Nov 21 2014 Andreas Schneider <asn@xxxxxxxxxx> - 4.2.0-0.2.rc2 - Use alternatives for libwbclient. The only explanation provided is this note in the spec: # Move libwbclient.so* into private directory, it cannot be just libdir/samba # because samba uses rpath with this directory. That feels questionable to me - it seems like there should be a better way to do it than with alternatives - but it's hard to be sure without more details. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
