I upgraded from Fedora 38 to Fedora 40 more or less smoothly.
Yet, when new kernels are installed, the grub configuration is not updated.
The command grep vmlinuz /boot/grub2/grub.cfg shows

With the /boot/loader/entries in existence and up to date, there should be no mention of individual kernels in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg: instead, the configuration should be invoking the GRUB command blscfg which will cause GRUB to read /boot/loader/entries and use the information within.

I uninstall samba this way:
My os is debian11.
sudo rm -f /etc/samba/smb.conf
sudo apt purge samba
sudo apt install samba
Now check the default samba's configuration file.
sudo ls /etc/samba/smb.conf
ls: cannot access '/etc/samba/smb.conf': No such file or directory

The package which “owns” smb.conf is samba-common; you need to purge that, and re-install samba (since it will be removed when removing samba-common):

You need to install the libjson-c-dev package:
