Bug Description
Binary package hint: smbfs
smbfs will not install because:
(= 3.0.22-1ubuntu3) but 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.1 is to be installed
shouldn't it be >= instead of =?
Actual error message:
$ sudo apt-get install smbfs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
smbfs: Depends: samba-common (= 3.0.22-1ubuntu3) but 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

What distro are you running ?
Dapper does not have that problem, and edgy is using 3.0.22-1ubuntu4....
Apparenly your bug has been solved, so you should run apt-get update and then re-run apt-get install smbfs and then everything should be allright.
