It sounds like you are trying to build Samba 4.12.x with the new
Patches, the supplied patches are for 4.14.14, 4.15.9 and 4.16.4, they
may not apply to your version and will, as you have found out, require
other packages to be updated.

You do not say what OS you are using, but I suggest you contact your
distro to see what plans they have for the security releases.
