[06:39] <InHisName> Good Morning !!, no evening conversations, just one terse goon night ?
[09:20] <rmg51> Morning
[12:15] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples dogs, turkeys, hamsters and everything else
[16:41] <InHisName> Afternoon
[16:43] <InHisName> any clues for fixing dpkg errors above ?
[16:59] <jthan> InHisName: Do something for me
[16:59] <jthan> Run a sudo apt-get clean
[16:59] <jthan> then try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:59] <jthan> Let me know if it runs cleanly
[17:18] <InHisName> all right, we'll see how it goes....
[17:19] <jthan> ;-) you've got me for the next hour or so
[17:19] <jthan> we'll figure it out
[17:20] <InHisName1>  samba-common-bin : Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.3) but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f
[17:20] <jthan> K - try "sudo apt-get install samba-libs"
[17:20] <jthan> tell me if it complains
[17:21] <InHisName1> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[17:21] <jthan> okay
[17:21] <jthan> sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin samba-libs samba
[17:23] <InHisName1> several depends: and a Reccomends:   PLUS the same error as above
[17:23] <jthan> Do you acutally use samba?
[17:23] <InHisName1> from time to time
[17:25] <jthan> So do you have config files for it that are important?
[17:25] <InHisName1> I've changed to a brother laser printer.  Maybe rip out samba then start over ?
[17:25] <jthan> Yeah - haha. That's where I was going with this
[17:25] <jthan> If you tried something like apt-get remove --auto-remove samba
[17:25] <jthan> then reinstalled
[17:25] <jthan> maybe it would just clear up
[17:25] <jthan> I'm not sure though.
[17:26] <jthan> I unfortunately don't actually have Ubuntu installed myself to try this out
[17:27] <jthan> InHisName: also, what's a simple "sudo dpkg --configure -a" do for you?
[17:27] <InHisName1> I hate leaving behind some unused debris that never gets emptied out.
[17:28] <InHisName1> ok, try that
[17:29] <InHisName1> big past to you in 30 sec
[17:36] <InHisName1> trying to copy from terminal, not in paste buffer. Must be doing something wrong.
[17:36] <jthan> ctrl-shift-c
[17:42] <InHisName1> I would n't even allow it person to person, huh
[17:43] <InHisName1> There were a big bunch of lines.  Did you get any of them ?
[17:46] <InHisName1> jthan: r u still around ?
[18:35] <jthan> InHisName1: I had to disappear, apologies. Class got canceled
[18:37] <jthan> InHisName1: sudo apt-get install libsmbclient
[18:38] <InHisName> I'm back here again
[18:39] <jthan> ah
[18:40] <jthan> oh wait
[18:40] <jthan> I sent the wrong one
[18:40] <jthan> Did you try the complete removal?
[18:41] <InHisName1> just tried the libsmbclient
[18:41] <jthan> how about the apt-get remove --auto-remove samba?
[18:41] <InHisName1> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[18:41] <InHisName1>  libsmbclient : Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.7) but it is not going to be installed
[18:41] <InHisName1>  python-samba : Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.3) but it is not going to be installed
[18:41] <InHisName1>  samba-common-bin : Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.3) but it is not going to be installed
[18:41] <InHisName1> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[18:42] <InHisName1> This from above command
[18:42] <jthan> So have you tried the apt-get -f install?
[18:43] <InHisName1> Ok, should I now try that removal ?
[18:43] <InHisName1> yes, that's what got me to prompt what to do next
[18:43] <jthan> Hrm. I'd say backup your config files if you have any and then try the removal
[18:44] <InHisName1> should I even need to bother with configs ?  Printer changed, not updated in smb
[18:44] <jthan> Then no.
[18:45] <InHisName1> so just run command and trash away ?
[18:45] <jthan> Yeah
[18:46] <InHisName1> here goes: sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove samba
[18:46] <jthan> for completeness
[18:46] <jthan> add samba samba-lib libsmb
[18:47] <InHisName1> here goes: sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove samba samba-lib libsmb <-- like this
[18:47] <jthan> yes

[18:48] <InHisName1> E: Unable to locate package samba-lib
[18:48] <InHisName1> E: Unable to locate package libsmb
[18:49] <InHisName1> now should I retry the apt-get refresh etc.
[18:50] <jthan> Do the last command again, but this time with samba-common-bin and python-samba and libsmbclient

[18:58] <InHisName1> Package 'samba' is not installed, so not removed
[18:58] <InHisName1> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

[19:03] <jthan> Yeah go for it
[19:06] <InHisName1> it tries to install samba and the smblib eetc.
