Bug Description

Hi,

I'm using davfs2 to mount some webdav resources using the following syntax in '/etc/fstab':

```
https://webdav.mediencenter.t-online.de/ /home/bob/Mediencenter davfs user,rw,noauto 0 0
```

Mounting, using and unmounting works fine but on shutdown. When I do not unmout manually before shutdown, the shutdown process gets delayed by up to two minutes. I think I experience the same behaviour as described in [Unmounting network file system on shutdown](https://askubuntu.com/questions/862494/unmounting-network-file-system-on-shutdown). I would expect that the system shuts down as usual (this takes only some seconds).

* Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
* Packate version: davfs2 1.5.2-1.2

Steps to reproduce:
1. Mount a webdav resource using davfs
2. Shutdown the system

Expected behaviour:
The system unmounts the webdav resource and shuts down in adequate time.

Actual behaviour:
The shutdown process is delayed by up to two minutes.

Solution:
I did some testing with davfs2 version 1.5.4 from the PPA: https://launchpad.net/~seahawk1986-hotmail/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=xenial

In the version from the PPA the problem is fixed and the system shuts down like expected. Please, update the version of davfs2 in universe to version 1.5.4 or backport the fixes which lead to the solution.

Best Regards,
Tronde

The tag upgrade-software-version was added first and then removed again. Could you explain why, please?

Is there any chance to get an updated version of davfs2 in xenial?

I've backported official davfs2 1.5.4-2 packages from Ubuntu 17.10 to 16.04 (Xenial), you can add official Ubuntu-derivative Baltix-Linux PPA - ppa:baltix-members/ppa and update, see https://launchpad.net/~baltix-members/+archive/

Hi,

Thank you very much for the backport of davfs2 1.5.4-2.

For testing purposes it is ok to use a PPA. I could test the package and give feedback here. But for production using a PPA is not an option. If the backport is stable I would like to get an update in the universe repo, too.

Hi Tronde, davfs2 1.5.4-2 package in ppa:baltix-members/ppa is 100% identical to official Ubuntu/Debian, because I simply copied sources from primary Ubuntu 17.10 archive to ppa:baltix-members/ppa 16.04 archive :)

Due to the latest version is 1.5.6-0.1 on groovy and 1.5.5 on focal, I'd like to close this as Fix Release.

Sorry, didn't see this question until now. `upgrade-software-version` is the tag for bugs requesting newer versions (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags), and the original tag here said `update-..`. So I simply replaced it with the offical tag in the hope that it would show up in the lists where someone would notice it :)
