No amount of searching the forum or google finds a solution

Any assistance most welcome.

It is trying to install this:

But you have libavahi-nodbus-support already installed.

You'll need to remove the nodbus version to allow samba4 to install.

Ok, thanks, but some other package installed this. I do not know what this is but all the packages installed are needed. Is there a work arround?

Both of your devices have 8 MB flash, there is no way to fit samba4 into that (RAM will also be very, very limited).

In general, you have to choose - either the dbus variant of libavahi or the non-dbus one (I assume that anything using the non-dbus library will do with the dbus one as well, but not vice versa).

As @slh pointed out, you're going to be out of space with samba4. There is ksmbd which may fit, but RAM, as also noted, may also be problematic.

In terms of space I have extroot on a usb so it is not so a concern. The issue seems to be at root to do with openssh-sftp-avahi-service removing that and libavahi-nodbus-support allowed samba in. This is now installed, though not configured. Its a shame there are incompatable packages like this. Losing openssh-sftp-avahi-service is a small loss but it is unfortunate.
