How did you start the daemon? You'll have two smbd executables if you
have two versions installed in different locations. Which one is
executed depends on how you started it (full path) and whichever comes
first in your PATH.

Your samba installation is not in /etc/samba only. Thats configuration
data. Use the packet manager to uninstall the old one (it shouldn't be a
problem to have multiple versions installed in different locations though).
