[Bug 1362963] Re: findsmb command is missing from smbclient package

[C. Jeffery Small]

Rather than make a separate bug report, I'll just add that swat is also
missing from the distribution.  There is no local or online manual page
for this utility in 14.10 and synaptic does not show anything, so it may
have been intentionally dropped.  Worth confirming.

Title:
  findsmb command is missing from smbclient package

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Note: I cannot report this using apport-bug as that command is
  currently failing on this system.]

  The findsmb command is missing from the package:  smbclient 2.4.1.6
  +dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.3

  Note that the manual page is included, but the command itself is
  missing.

  There is also some confusing regarding the documentation.  Here is the
  manpage for the trusty distribution:

      http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/findsmb.1.html

  Notice that it indicates that this command is included in  smbclient_4.1.3+dfsg-2ubuntu5_i386
  Is this correct notation?  Are the 64-bit packages not documented, or is this another bug?

  The findsmb command is supposed to be a perl script so it should really be package independent.
  Can the file be downloaded from some location?
