Question Samba RPM Install problem


I have downloaded the latest version of SAMBA (RPM) and when I go to install it, the software installer says that it is already installed and points to the RPM file.

I did a search for installed items in the Software manager and it doesn't show as being installed. Thanks!

Thanks! I tried this and it started to install but it appears that there are some files I needed. I downloaded the files I needed but now they will not install (with the same error). Do I need to rebuild the RPM db everytime I download an RPM? If so, I tried running rpm --rebuilddb again but it still won't install. T
Thanks again!

I fixed this by using Package Manager instead of Software Manager. Still not sure why this occured. Thanks!
