The recent upgrade of samba defines SAMBA4_BUNDLED_LDB and thus causes a
conflict with ldb from ports that are required b some 10 packages on my system
and thus cannot be de-installed. This problem does probably affect quite a
number of people, which cannot upgrade Samba to a version without the security
vulnerabilities that are fixed in this version.

The reason to use the bundled ldb appears to be, that the databases/ldb13 port
has not been upgraded to version 1.3.5, yet.
Just changing the version number and creating a matching distinfo file was
sufficient to get ldb13-1.3.5 compiled and working.

So, I do not see any reason that the samba48 port could not continue to use the
ldb13 from a port and thus avoid the conflict!
(I'm CCing to timur@ as the registered maintainer of the ldb13 port.)

The same problem may exist for the other samba4* ports, I did not check ...
