Bug Description

Binary package hint: samba

Hello,

Problem (Dependency error):

When I install SAMBA via NAUTILUS sharing option (Default File Manager of UBUNTU 10.10) it marks the package "libpam-smbpass" for installation together with SAMBA package, but when I try to install SAMBA via SYNAPTIC, it don't mark this package...

CONSEQUENCE:

What I've noticed is that without the package "libpam-smbpass", my computer is now shown to the other computers in my SAMBA workgroup... With it my PC is shown in the workgroup...

Solution:

Add the package "libpam-smbpass" to SAMBA dependencies in a way that the user have to install it if he/she wants to install SAMBA via SYNAPTIC or other package manager...

WORKAROUND:

Install the package "libpam-smbpass" separately from SAMBA package using any package manager...

Thanks for your attention,

André M.

libpam-smbpass doesn't have anything to do with whether or not your computer will show up in the local network, I think that is a red herring.

Hello Jelmer Vernooij,

So... How can I solve the red herring problem? I don't know if this
problem was exactly caused by the lack of installation of the package
"libpam-smbpass", but what I know is that after I installed the package
"libpam-smbpass" this issue was solved....

Thanks for your help,

André M.
