[Bug 704377] Re: nagios3 requires smbclient, tries to uninstall samba4-clients

[James Page]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

In the Lucid release, nagios3 and smbclient are both located in the main
section of the archive; this part of the archive is officially supported
by Canonical and as such no dependencies can be made between packages in
main and packages in universe (supported by the wider Ubuntu community).
Samba 4 is still an alpha release (and hence located in universe) and
won't at this point in time even be considered for inclusion in the main
archive even in the development release.

Although the change you suggest would resolve your issue, it will break
the main -> universe rules and would not be accepted into the nagios3
package.

Thanks again for taking the time to report this bug.

** Changed in: nagios3 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
