As I was trying to update my systems I got an error telling me some files were already there. Those files were owned by the ldb package. I tried to uninstall and reinstall both ldb and samba and noticed that samba pulls ldb as a dependency and tries to install files that are also owned by ldb. Here is the list:

/usr/bin/ldbadd
/usr/bin/ldbdel
/usr/bin/ldbedit
/usr/bin/ldbmodify
/usr/bin/ldbrename
/usr/bin/ldbsearch
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ldb.so
/usr/share/man/man1/ldbadd.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/ldbdel.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/ldbedit.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/ldbmodify.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/ldbrename.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/ldbsearch.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/ldb.3.gz
This task depends upon

I don't have this problem,

it's seems you have a broken pacman database,

/usr/bin/ldbadd and all files you have mentionned are not in samba package,

you can try to uninstall ldb package first,

then install samba only, ldb will be installed automaticaly by pacman

Thank you. I didn't suspect the database. I force-synchronized it with pacman -Syy and reinstalled samba which pulled ldb. Then, they both were installed fine along with their dependencies.
