[Samba] Update from el7.4 to el7.5 broke samba 4.6.14

[vincent at cojot.name]

Hi Rowland,

Yes, that's right (Thank you). Here is what happened:

On the DC's, libldb was this version on el7.4:
- libldb-1.1.29-2.el7_4.wing.x86_64 (from Wing's repo).

el7.5 brought in a more recent version:
- libldb-1.2.2-1.el7.x86_64
- libldb-1.2.2-1.el7.i686

What would be the best course of action here?
A) Downgrade el7.5 to libldb-1.1.29-2.el7_4.wing.x86_64?
B) rebuild samba-4.6.15 using Wing's src.rpm and keep libldb from el7.5
C) Upgrade to libldb-1.3.2-1.el7_10.wing.x86_64 (which I suspect would 
force me to update to samba 4.7 since they're both in 'extras').

I don't mind doing any of A), B) or C) but what would be the advice here? 
Is the upgrade path from samba 4.6 + libldb 1.1 to samba 4.6 + libldb 1.3 
straightforward? I hope I done have to rebuild all of the DC's content 
(Don't want to do through RSAT again).

Any hints?

Many thanks for your time,

Vincent
