[Bug 345330] [NEW] smbfs, samba & samba-common are uninstallable

[George Bromell]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: smbfs

My first time reporting a bug so forgive me if this is th ewrong format, forum or insufficient details. After a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 gnome desktop x86_64 edition I attempted to install smbfs and received the following error;
$ sudo apt-get install smbfs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  smbfs: Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3) but 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Attempting to install samba-common results in the following error;
$ sudo apt-get install samba-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
samba-common is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  linux-headers-2.6.27-7 linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
