[Samba] Replacing debian packages with compiled source

The Samba that is packaged for Xandros 2.0 seems to be broken; at least,
mine keeps giving me "segmentation fault" errors. I've tried wiping it
out and re-installing it, but it hasn't helped.
Recently I decided to get the latest version of Samba and compile it
from source, which, to my amazement, actually worked. Now, before I try
"make install," I would like to know: which existing packages do I need
to remove? I know the base samba package will have to go, but I don't
know which other ones also have to be deleted, versus which ones are
actually separate -- for example, I think smbclient is separate, but I'm
not sure.
I presume "make install" will overwrite any files in the way, but I'd
rather clear out the old stuff before doing the install. On the other
hand, I don't want to remove related packages that I need to use Samba
on that computer.
Thanks,
Derek Croxton
