It appears that the devuan repo is not pulling in the newer samba 4.2 but rather the older 4.1 programs of samba-libs and samba-common. Is Devuan's security repo functioning now? I have read that it is and that it isn't, so I am unsure and I wanted to let someone know about this.


I have a new beta (dvd) install and this is my sources.list:


deb http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main contrib non-free
#deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free


When I try to pull security updates from the devuan repo, It wants to remove samba. I get this:

root@server:/home/user# apt-get dist-upgrade

In digging a little further, I try to install a samba related program "libnss-winbind" with the devuan security repo, and I get this information along with a failure to continue:

Depends: samba-common (=2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u2) but 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u2 is to be installed
Depends: winbind but it is not going to be installed
Depends: samba-libs (=2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u2) but 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u2 is to be installed



When I try to update from the debian security repo, it does not want to remove samba, and it updates samba correctly with no errors:

After this operation, 1,213 kB of additional disk space will be used.

For some reason, the devuan security "merged" repo is not picking up the newer debian samba programs. It did pick up some other security updates though. It has been like this for three days. I thought the issue would correct itself, but it hasn't, yet.
