I have no clue about samba, I was just doing QA to reduce the amount of outdated binary packages in sid. OK, you made me curious. That last attempted (and successful) build on hurd-i386 was 2:3.6.19-1 in September 2013. (Today we have 2:4.3.3+dfsg-2). Thereafter some chain of (mandatory) Build-Depends (introduced for a new upstream version ?) has not been available. And as a consequence the outdated samba binaries were removed at some point (Aug 2014, #749134, "ANAIS; No longer building on Hurd, which does not support byte range locking"). Looks like "won't be fixed soon". Andreas
