Thanks for clarifying. I was not aware of this.
For the short term I downgraded to an older version of samba4 (to get

system running again).
(And yes, there is an entry in bugzilla for "my" problem. And a link
to an
upstream patch ....)
In the medium term I'm looking for an other distribution:
It doesn't make sense to have about 10 years of support (in theory),
but
updates just every half year.
It depends on what you are defining as an update because it means
different things. If you are talking about security updates and major
problem updates then it is sooner than 6 months.
Then I prefer a system
-- where I have to do upgrades to the next major versions more
frequently,
-- because of merely about 3 years of update support,
++ but with a more current update policy
++ and an overall more recent software.
You are asking a lot for free.
If the warm fuzzy feeling of a version number update means a lot to you,
and you don't care about reinstalling stuff once a year, Fedora may be
better for you.
Much more bleeding edge with versions, but you'll need more of an admin
effort to make sure it all works.
