I understand, but samba is really picky with their "satellite" libraries.
When you don't use them as embedded tools then you can have strange results 
if the version it not the one needed.
For example, net/samba420 needs tdb >= 1.4.10, but other net/samba may not
work with this version.

This is very unfortunate but also some other tools like sssd2 and sudo may
need this libraries as external when compiled with samba support.

Kind regards,
Xavier
