Package: cifs-utils Version: 2:6.11-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Debian Samba Team,
#822841 - cifs-utils should suggests winbind instead of recommending it: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=822841 This was closed by "Move keyutils and winbind from Recommends to Suggests". I believe that un-Recommending keyutils caused these bugs: #801624 - cifs-utils: mounting Windows DFS shares fail https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=801624 #967972 - cifs-utils: fails to mount filesystem when keyutils is not installed https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=967972 linux/Documentation/admin-guide/cifs/usage.rst says: "To use cifs Kerberos and DFS support, the Linux keyutils package should be installed" Therefore, please move keyutils from Suggests back to Recommends. Untested patch below. Thank you!
