FYI - Just performed a yum update which included an update of the popt package from 1.16-3 code level to 1.18-1
 
The updating proceeded fine but after Samba was stopped it would not restart, posting the error messages:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/freeware/sbin/smbd because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module libpopt.so could not be loaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module libpopt.so.
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/freeware/sbin/nmbd because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module libpopt.so could not be loaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module libpopt.so.
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/freeware/sbin/winbindd because of the following errors:

0509-022 Cannot load module libpopt.so.
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

Upon further investigation and comparison to a working system, I found that the newer code level was missing both a link and the file it points to:
# ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libpopt.so
ls: 0653-341 The file /opt/freeware/lib/libpopt.so does not exist.

The working system (still at the 1.16-3 code level) shows:
# ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libpopt.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 34 Dec 05 2018 /opt/freeware/lib/libpopt.so -> /usr/opt/freeware/lib/libpopt.so.0

I was able to get Samba working again on the updated system by re-installing the popt 1.16-3 package and removing the 1.18-1 version.

Samba 4.10.13-2 is now available in Toolbox which fixes this issue.
