Not really. It looks like samba4 is being positioned to replace samba
post beta in F17. This doesn't seem like a great idea to me, but probably
will work out.
The most recent change had libsmbclient4 change to libsmbclient. However
since libsmbclient client now depends on samba4 stuff (samba4-common) instead
instead samba stuff, updating libsmbclient needs samba4 stuff installed.
The problem is that samba4 stuff conflicts with samba stuff and samba4
stuff doesn't obsolete samba stuff. I was planning on filing a bug about
this issue if there isn't already one.
If you want to switch from samba to samba4 you can do it in yum shell
without having to uninstall all of the stuff that depends on samba.
