[Samba] Upgrading Samba on Debian

[L. van Belle]

Debian-backports is "pinned" down to 100, where my repo comes up with 500 ( the default so higher priority.) 
I have same, only I use 4.16.2 

sudo apt-cache policy samba
samba:
  Installed: 2:4.16.2+dfsg-1nmu1~deb11.1
  Candidate: 2:4.16.4+dfsg-2~bpo11+1
  Version table:
     2:4.16.4+dfsg-2~bpo11+1 100
        100 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports/main amd64 Packages
 *** 2:4.16.2+dfsg-1nmu1~deb11.1 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2:4.13.13+dfsg-1~deb11u5 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security/main amd64 Packages
     2:4.13.13+dfsg-1~deb11u4 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages


sudo apt install -t bullseye-backports --autoremove samba

Need to get 0 B/14.2 MB of archives.
After this operation, 9,164 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

And I didn’t use any pinning settings here. 
I used --autoremove to remove the extra packages used for GnomeTracker. 

Hope that this helps.
