tags 297923 patch thanks In this bug Martin F. Krafft mentions that different versions of libpam-smbpass and samba-common on the same system lead to a big mess.
Martin's suggestion in this bug report seems fair to me. I hesitated between the following two solutions for libpam-smbpass: -Add "samba-common (= ${Source-Version})" to Depends -Add "samba-common (<<${Source-Version}) to Conflicts I finally choosed the latter, which seems less invasive to me and avoids enforcing users of libpmam-smbpass to install samba-common. Patch attached. --
