Package: smbclient
Version: 2:3.4.3-1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave

I own Western Digital World Book 2, and until now I used smbclient
to discover/find this device. Under Gnome DE I would find it under Network. However for some time now, I can't seem to find it/discover it.

I do know that this problem is not present in Lenny, same goes for Ubuntu
9.10 where it's not present, but after upgrade same problem as on Sid.

Workaround is following:

smbclient -L homez (name of my device)

i.e:
absin...@havoc:~$ smbclient -L homez
Enter absinthe's password: Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c]

After I executed this command I can find my device via Iceweasel/Firefox or Nautlius by entering smb://homez/ into my address field.
