[SOLVED] Samba broke after upgrading from Fedora 33 to Fedora 34

Hi,

After upgrading from Fedora 33 to Fedora 34, samba broke, and the smb and nmb services are not working. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue. Below are the errors that I am getting.

Thanks in advance,

In Fedora 33, it was:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Sep 15 2020 /usr/lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2 -> libldap-2.4.so.2.10.13

In Fedora 34, it is:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 10 09:03 libldap_r-2.4.so.2 -> libldap_r-2.4.so.2.11.5

rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2

Install it.

I did what you suggested and got the error below:

[root@LinuxSrv lib64]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2

error: file /usr/lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2: No such file or directory

SOLVED:

dnf install openldap-compat-2.4.57-5.fc34.x86_64

libldap-2.4.so.2 is included in this module.

To clarify, rpm can search only in already installed packages. To find what package provides a missing file, run

dnf prov \*/libldap-2.4.so.2
