Counter-suggestion, consistent with bug #496200: Description: common files used by both the Samba server and client Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems. . This package contains files and programs needed by Samba when used as either a client or a server. The second paragraph again repeats the short description somewhat, but your proposal (as well as the original) is inaccurate since samba-common is now also needed for other packages like winbind. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
