[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#632974: samba4: libsamdb0 package creates broken link to samba/ldb modules

[Arvid Requate]

Package: samba4
Version: 4.0.0~alpha15.dfsg1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


The libsamdb0 package build from source package samba4 creates a link /usr/lib/ldb/modules/samba pointing to ../../../samba/ldb. The target path does not exist. Maybe it should rather be a link to ../../samba/ldb. As a result the ldb-tools cannot find the samba4/ldb modules:

bash# ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.ldb 
WARNING: Module [samba_secrets] not found - do you need to set LDB_MODULES_PATH?
Unable to load modules for /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.ldb: (null)
Failed to connect to /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.ldb - (null)



Additionally the ldb-tools build from source package ldb (version 1.1.0) do not find the modules in /usr/lib/ldb/modules/samba because they use

 LDB_MODULESDIR=/usr/lib/ldb/modules/ldb

While this can be fixed temporarily by "export LDB_MODULS_PATH=/usr/lib/ldb/modules", the libsamdb0 package should probably put the link beneath the LDB_MODULESDIR. Maybe it would be preferable to set LDB_MODULESDIR=/usr/lib/ldb/modules in the source package ldb to achieve this.
