New problem - Can't install working version of Samba

[Tom P]

Ok, I got past the problem I had upgrading Fedora to version 40. 

Now I can't install a newer version of Samba.

First of all, is it a problem that dnf tells me I have 1591 things installed that have "fc37" in their names, despite being on fedora 40? I did this:

dnf update -y

<nothing to do>

rpm -qa | grep fc37

and got 1591 packages.

There none with fc39 or fc38 or fc39 or fc40 in their names. There are 12 packages matching fc35.

Now, my latest problem seems to be a screwed up repo issue. Whenever I tell it to install samba, I get some old 4.17 version tagged with "fc37"

I'm just doing dnf install samba here. 

i know there's a 4.22 version out there. I'm currently building it from source, but that failed last time.  I think the failure mode was

1. Did ./configure - worked

2. Did make - worked

3. Did make install - worked too

4. Did systemctl start smb - No unit called smb found

5. Did systemctl start nmb - No unit called nmb found.

I'm running the make / make install again. Takes for-bloody-ever!

Help!
