Dear Eloy Paris: First of all, thank you for maintaining Samba for all of us on Debian.
Second, I filed the subject bug report and I am happy to report that the problem has been resolved, but not how we might want. Basically, with the newest version out of unstable, it compiled this time under Alpha/Potato (prior version in unstable would not compile). I have installed the resulting .debs, and everything is working fine. Indeed, I think I will compile this package from unstable for my Intel/Potato machines. For those Potato users who have never done this, it is simple as follows (as root) 1) add the following entry into /etc/apt/sources.list deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free 2) issue "apt-get update" to enable this new entry 3) issue "apt-get -b source samba" to download and compile the samba packages (go take a break or do something else for a few minutes...it will be a while) 4) issue "dpkg -i *.deb" making sure no other .deb are in the local area. You will have installed 2.2.0.final.a-1 (at this point in time) packages for samba, samba-common, samba-doc, smbclient, smbfs, and swat from this compile. That is it! P.S. My recommendation to resolve the bug: Don't bother to fix it, just install the newer version into Potato! -- James D.
