Samba libpopt.so.0 errors

[addohm]

I've recently had to commission a new NAS and am running into an issue with the following error:

Error loading shared library libpopt.so.0: Exec format error (needed by /usr/sbin/smbd)
Error loading shared library libpopt.so.0: Exec format error (needed by /usr/lib/samba/libpopt-samba3-samba4.so)

The logs are inundated with with this and only this. The only things I can find anywhere near this error are a decade old or gentoo specific. The only thing I can think of is that its running debian 12. I didn't have this issue on a previously commissioned server running ubuntu server running jammy jellyfish.

Here's a response from the samba devs.

this is not a Samba bug but a problem of your compiled binaries. Also 4.12.x is quite old and no longer supported, but this is not the problem. You might want to consult one of the comapnies offerering commercial samba support, see the samba.org web site for support options.

So if that's the case, there's probably some sys req that needs to be disclosed before using this docker container.
