Package: libpam-smbpass
Version: 3.0.25a-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


when enabled in the /etc/pam.d/common-[auth|password], and then trying 
to change a users password it fails with pam complaining about unknown 
module.  The errors shown in the log auth.log are as follows:

Jun 28 03:57:58 silverbox passwd[4381]: PAM unable to resolve symbol: 
pam_sm_chauthtok
Jun 28 03:57:58 silverbox passwd[4381]: PAM unable to resolve symbol: 
pam_sm_authenticate
Jun 28 03:57:58 silverbox passwd[4381]: PAM unable to resolve symbol: 
pam_sm_setcred
Jun 28 03:57:58 silverbox passwd[4381]: PAM unable to resolve symbol: 
pam_sm_chauthtok

This problem does not occur in the current stable version: 3.0.24-6

The current unstable version 3.0.25a-2 also suffers from this 
problem/regression.
