Public bug reported: I hadn't noticed it immediately after samba package upgrade, but in an attempt to sign into my samba shares once I get the share mounted and I try and open a folder it appears empty where it worked flawlessly before. I hoped that reinstalling the samba package would give me a direction in where to go as I had done about 12 hours of searching for a fix.
Upon reinstalling the package I got the attached error.
