Title:
Please raise Suggests for lib{pam,nss}-winbind to Recommends in trusty
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in samba source package in Trusty:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Test Case
---------
In a precise system install samba and libpam-winbind
Upgrade to trusty
Observe that libnss-winbind is not installed
With the version of the package from -proposed, after the upgrade
libnss-winbind will be install on the system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Debian packaging of Samba demoted the Recommends relationships to
libpam-winbind and libnss-winbind to Suggests after one Debian
release:
samba (2:3.6.15-1) unstable; urgency=high
* Team upload.
* New upstream bugfix release. Closes: #707042
* Update VCS URL's for new git repo.
* The recommends for the separate libnss-winbind and libpam-winbind
packages needed for the upgrade of winbind from squeeze to wheezy are no
longer needed. Lowering them to suggests.
Closes: #706434, #674853

Unfortunately this isn't enough for the Ubuntu LTS cycle. libpam-
winbind was a separate package in Precise, but libnss-winbind wasn't,
and the release-upgrader therefore doesn't know to install it. Can
those relationships be restored to Recommends in trusty-updates? (This
delta doesn't need to be kept past Trusty.)
We upgraded a server from Precise to Trusty this weekend and it was
really confusing to track down why nobody could log in any more. I
know it's been a while since the Trusty release, but given that
Precise is around for two more years, I strongly suspect we're not the
last people to upgrade a winbind-using Precise machine, and
configuring samba correctly is confusing enough as it is. :)
