CentOS Samba wont install

Question

I'm having trouble installing samba on my CentOS 6.5 server. I run:

yum install samba

it finds the packages but then the following error messages appears and I cant continue:

Error: Package: samba-winbind-clients-3.6.9-151.el6_4.1.i686 (updates)

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

It's been a very long time since i used Linux so I dont really know what to do about this, I have tried the commands suggested by the error message but it does not work. I'm experiencing the same problem when installing MySQL

Try a `yum clean all` and `yum update` first. – etagenklo Dec 01 '13 at 22:13 — etagenklo, Dec 01 '13 at 22:13

You've somehow gotten out of sync with the upstream distribution. To resolve this problem:

Clear the yum caches.
```
yum clean all
```
Resync all your installed software with the latest available versions.
```
yum distro-sync
```
(Don't bother with yum update here; it isn't likely to help since it probably won't do anything anyway.)

Now try your installation again.

Your fix totally worked, now the question just remains how this could happen, it's a totally fresh install 6.5. But as long as it's working i'm happy :) Thank you! I dont have enough reputation to mark your post as answer :( – user2782999 Dec 02 '13 at 06:07
You might have hit a mirror while it was in the middle of syncing, or something like that. And you should be able to accept the answer now. – Michael Hampton Dec 02 '13 at 06:15

Try a yum update followed by yum install samba samba-client samba-winbind.

yum update returns that nothing needed to update, I did run it earlier today. Error: Package: samba-winbind-clients-3.6.9-151.el6_4.1.i686 (updates) similar error message appears after I try to run it, if I try to install only samba-winbind it says already installed? – user2782999 Dec 01 '13 at 22:00
Try what Micheal Hampton suggested, clearing the yum cache and then resync. – canadmos Dec 01 '13 at 22:19
