Hi All,

I am trying to install smbclient to get a windows share printing system
going and I get the following error:

# apt-get install smbclient
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
smbclient : Depends: samba-common (= 2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u3) but
2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So it actually wants a newer version of the samba-common package I
currently have installed...
do you have any work-around for this?
In a previous conversation I found:

this may be the sort of glitch occurring on updates on the debian
side, which Nextime is trying to solve in Amprolla. To verify that, do
try the install again in a few hourse.

If it persists, let us know then, best if via a gitlab issue. also
please detail when you installed it and what package sources used.
