That's not a version in Debian, I guess you mean 2:4.9-1? Can you give
the output from 'apt-cache policy cifs-utils' so we can confirm?

Any reason why you open a new bug in that case?

This is an observation, though I don't see any mention of what problem
it causes for you especially as you are being root when doing the mount.

If you think user unmounts are still not working, can you please add the
appropriate fstab entry and show the commands you execute together with
their output?

Thanks in advance.
