Thanks for all of the help.

Paul; I have all of the packages and the md5sums are correct
and all of the new packages just depend on each other.

Panu's link to the amd64-list helped a lot (I'll have to start
monitoring that list). To determine the offending package I ran

$ rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}.%{arch}\n' | grep samba
samba-client-3.0.3.x86_64
samba-swat-3.0.3.x86_64
samba-3.0.3.x86_64
samba-common-3.0.3.x86_64
system-config-samba-1.2.9.noarch
samba-3.0.3.i386

Next I attempted to determine what package required the 386
version of SAMBA:

$ rpm -q --whatrequires samba.i386
no package requires samba.i386

Since it wasn't required...

# rpm -e samba.i386
# rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}.%{arch}\n' | grep samba
samba-client-3.0.3.x86_64
samba-swat-3.0.3.x86_64
samba-3.0.3.x86_64
samba-common-3.0.3.x86_64
system-config-samba-1.2.9.noarch

Then the yum update was successful :-)

Maybe there was a time when an x86_64 version of samba wasn't
available so the i386 version was loaded?

Thanks for all of the help Paul and Panu,
Pete
