That would be me. I uninstalled the samba 3 packages because I need the
functionality of the samba4 packages and the samba 3 protocols are insecure.

Yes.

Agreed!!

In looking at this a little more it appears to me that there is a provides
missing from the samba4 packages.

I ran the following on another machine with the samba4 packages installed:

(cg2 pts17) # yum install kdebase

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

--> Processing Dependency: libwbclient.so.0()(64bit) for package: libsmbclient-3.6.23-46el6_9.x86_64

As you can see above, the the resolver totally ignores the fact that the samba4
packages are installed and tries to pull in the samba 3 packages. This smells
like a packaging bug to me but I could be wrong.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?
