Some time ago I posted a query related to the erroneous behaviour of evolution-ews 3.16.5-5.1. Solution to the problem, I was told, was to regress samba from 4.2.4-15-1 back to 4.2.4-12-1. I did just that and everything my evolution-ews worked again. So I thought I should ‘lock’ samba to version 4.2.4-12-1 until an update beyond 4.2.4.-15.1 appeared.
Now samba 4.2.4-18.1 is available, but…the update is proving to be murderously complex, since there are endless libraries to be adjusted as well and I have no way of knowing which of the dependency solutions I should choose. Does anyone know what my best strategy would be?
My current configuration:
OpenSuse Leap 42.1 (64-bit)
Linux kernel 4.1.21-14-default
Gnome version 3.16.2
It may be relevant to say that I had the same EWS problem on a laptop configuration and I followed the same approach of ‘locking’ the samba version to 4.2.4-12.1. The upgrade to samba 4.2.4-18.1 was considerably less problematical, and evolution-ews works fine with it.
