There is a lot of argument between the Debian packager and the Samba team about this bug. Basically it centers around whether winbindd_cache should be in /var/cache or not. Upstream thinks not, Debian thinks it should be.
winbindd_cache is a cache. But it is a cache which cannot be safely deleted without negative effect. It does recreate itself, but it stores credentials. If a laptop user were to delete it, he would likely be unable to login to his system until he reconnected back to his home network. Thus the argument goes. I'm content to do whatever Debian does, but it's broken in Ubuntu *now*. I'd suggest simply fixing the fhs.patch for the time being. -- winbindd will not start do to invalid cache path https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118977 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
