Hi
I tried to update a member server's samba version from 4.20.5 to 4.21.1 using Bookworm-backports and get the following error:
roy at moggy:~$ sudo apt upgrade

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
samba : Breaks: samba-ad-dc (< 2:4.20.1+dfsg-2~) but 2:4.17.12+dfsg-0+deb12u1 is to be installed
Breaks: samba-ad-provision (< 2:4.20.5+dfsg) but 2:4.17.12+dfsg-0+deb12u1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
The following packages are installed:
roy at moggy:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep samba
ii libldb2:amd64 2:2.9.1+samba4.20.5+dfsg-1~bpo12+1 amd64 LDAP-like embedded database - shared library

ii samba-vfs-modules 2:4.20.5+dfsg-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Samba Virtual FileSystem plugins (transitional package)
So not sure why it is trying to install samba-ad-dc and samba-ad-provision as this is a member server not a DC. (I tried it on another member server with the same result).
Any advice how to proceed please?
Thanks,
Roy
