Package: lockfile-progs
Version: 0.1.18
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
lockfile creation fails on a cifs mounted drive with "lockfile creation failed:
Value too large for defined data type"
The problem was seen on the running kernel 5.10.0 and also on
linux-image-4.19.0-16-686-pae
The problem appeared only recently (last 2- weeks?) after an apt full-upgrade,
but I don't recall what all changed there.
The created .lk*smidge file could be part of the problem. It disappears when it
works, but stays wen it does not.
On an ubuntu machine the same lockfile-progs with newer dependencies works (see
third paste below)

Works as expected on Ubuntu 20.10 (also with lockfile-progs 0.1.18), but has
