While messing about with my current project on a RPi 3b+, experienced issues with installing "Samba", kept getting install errors and Samba would not run properly.
Stumbled across this post:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=108035Would appear that the default Raspbian S/W site is not the best option for UK users.
The default site location is stored here,
/etc/apt/sources.listI edited this file by adding the line:
deb http://mirror.mythic-beasts.com/raspbian/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpiand commenting out the default line.
Note: In my case I am using the Raspbian "
stretch" program revision, change this to whatever Raspbian revision is applicable.
(visable in the first line of the file, just copy the revision to suit)
In my case, Samba now installed and ran without any errors.
The normal update/upgrade process now runs much faster.
Have updated my 2 remote RPi ZW's also, one of which is still running "Jessy", big speed improvement with updates.
Not tried with the current revision, Raspbian "Buster" as yet but I'am sure the principle is the same.
