'deb http://inverse.ca/ubuntu trusty trusty' is already in my 
'/etc/apt/sources.list'


I created the file '/etc/apt/preferences.d/preferences-ubuntu-trusty'


adam at sogo:~$ sudo apt-cache policy samba
samba:

I see the difference with the pinning.

As I stated earlier, I'll have to wait until after-hours, as I'll take a 
snapshot then try the upgrade.

thx so much, Louis and Rowland!
