[SOLVED] SAMBA /usr/bin/smbd relocation error

Trying to install SAMBA I unexpectedly ran into the below problem. Google turns up nothing.

Using just a basic set-up for starters:

$ testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions

# Global parameters
[global]
	dns proxy = No
	logging = systemd
	server role = standalone server
	server string = %h SMB (%v)
	idmap config * : backend = tdb
	hosts allow = 192.168.1. 172.17. 127.


[homes]
	browseable = No
	comment = Home Directories
	read only = No

Then enable/start the service with sudo systemctl enable smb.service; sudo systemctl start smb.service

And that produces this output in the logging:

2019-03-27T19:46:53+01:00 auth[notice] sudo::   beheer : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/xxx ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/systemctl start smb.service

Would appreciate any help/hints since I'm at a total loss here.

Re: [SOLVED] SAMBA /usr/bin/smbd relocation error

Looks like system libs are mixed up. Try to update the system with 'pacman -Syyu'.

Amazing!
I did that before I installed samba. Hadn't thought it would work again.
That seems to have solved it. Thanks!
