apk add samba (it installs and at the first sight looks ok)

Trying to start samba v4.1 looks like this:

1. /etc/init.d/samba start
   * Starting smbd …
   /usr/sbin/smbd: can’t load library ‘libtevent.so.0’
   * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/smbd’ [ !! ]
   * Starting nmbd …
   /usr/sbin/nmbd: can’t load library ‘libtevent.so.0’
   * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/nmbd’ [ !! ]
   * ERROR: samba failed to start
   —-
   Indeed I tried to start without configuring /etc/samba/smb.conf file first but the system complains on missing library so I`ve started to research

cd /usr/lib

inside there are only 2 files related to name:

libtevent-util.so.0
libtevent-util.so.0.0.1

apk search libtevent
samba-3.6.19-r0
samba-libs-4.1.0-r0

…as you can see apk reports these 2 packages holds “libtevent” but it obviously shows everything that holds something that starts with “libtevet” even that could mean “libtevent-util.so.0” & “libtevent-util.so.0.0.1”

apk add samba-libs (installs ok, but the required file is not in the package)
So I did a bit of search and found that some distros pack it as a separate package.

I think we`re missing this package: http://pkgs.org/altlinux-sisyphus/classic-i586/libtevent-0.9.19-alt1.i586.rpm.html (for 32bit & 64bit) which provides /usr/lib/libtevent.so.0 ..

for now this is what we have:

1. apk add libtevent
   ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
   libtevent (missing):
   required by: world[libtevent]

s.
also just to note that in /etc/samba there is no default smb.conf file

Sorry if I didn`t use all apk commands or all alpine scripts that could help to explain this better, I`m still learning to use Alpine Linux.

Best regards
