This is why providing the src.rpms/sources is important.

Hello,
RHEL 7.6 has been released with numerous improvements and fixes.

I'm currently migrating my systems from RHEL 7.5 to RHEL 7.6.
Everything is going well, but the Samba AD DCs have an unsolvable dependency chain caused by the x86_64 version of libtalloc that comes with your RPMs (yes, I have `multilib_policy=all` in `yum.conf`), for which no i686 version is provided.

Fortunately for my situation, you distributed the src.rpms for version 4.8.5, which is precisely the one I'm using.
Therefore, I can:
- increment the revision of libtalloc in its .spec file
- rebuild the x86_64 and i686 RPMs, and that's it.

It's for events like this that distributing the src.rpms of your binary RPMs is very important, and should be done regularly and automatically. To avoid any operational risk by preventing us from applying updates due to a side effect caused by your compiled RPMs,
I respect your work and thank you for it, but I wanted to draw your attention to this point.
Thank you,
Vincent
