The new Samba ships with libwbclient0, and the current likewise-open still ships with it.
I am working on a likewise-open update that should use libwbclient0 rather than provide the library itself.

Why not create a new package named libwbclinet0 and make it a dependency of both packages?

That's exactly what is being done. likewise-open would depend on (already existing) libwbclient0.

Sounds great. I am having this problem too, and have 4 broken packages due to the problem. I will watch for the update and confirm the fix when it is available. Thanks!

Is there any workaround for this bug? I'd love to update my system and it's impossible right now.

This bug was fixed in the package likewise-open - 4.1.0.2956-0ubuntu1

I still cannot update. Still have the same problem. Updated today.

I had to purge likewise-open and then reinstall the package to properly resolve the dependancy. Make sure you leave the domain before purging the package with

user@locahost# aptitude purge likewise-open

OK, so I had to remove likewise-open to get the rest of the packages to work.

I ran: sudo dpkg -r likewise-open
Then: sudo apt-get update -f
Then: sudo apt-get install -f
Then: sudo apt-get upgrade -f
Then: sudo apt-get install likewise-open

Works fine now.

I'm going to choose the simple option and just fix the packaging to place the libwbclient.so.0 from likewise-open to /usr/lib/likewise-open/. It is possible to integrate smbd from Samba to use the libwbclient.so.0 provided by likewise-open by using a virtual (replaces/conflicts/depends) package like postfix vs. exim. But I believe I'll wait on that one. Expect a fix this week,

Theirry, the fix that you are suggesting will not work. The libwbclient that likewise-open includes is compatible but not equivalent to the one provided by Samba. Here's a new rules file. Just leave the libwbclienbt.so.0 included in likewise-open in /usr/lib/likewise-open for now.

wrong rules file in previous comment. This is the correct one:

Reopening...
I can reproduce on a hardy (samba + likewise) -> intrepid upgrade
libwbclient0 is installed before likewise is upgraded, causing the error.

This should be fixed with some Replaces/Conflicts magic in libwbclient0 so that it gets installed after likewise-open is upgraded.

likewise-open >= 4.1.0.2956 no longer ships /usr/lib/libwbclient.so.0 so it cannot conflict with libwbclient0.

Reconfirming that the fix in likewise-open is released, opening a new task for libwbclient0.

Proposed debdiff
Tested OK on a hardy (samba + likewise) -> intrepid upgrade
