[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#696675: Upgrade Samba 3.5.x to 3.6.6 with printers fails (wheezy)

[Fabian Wenk]

Package: samba
Version: 3.6.6-3
Severity: important

Last week I tried upgrading a Samba installation with printers 
from a 3.5.x installation (in my case from a non-Debian system) 
to 3.6.6 on Debian wheezy, it fails with the bug mention in Samba 
bug #9026: '3.6.6 upgrade from 3.5.x fails with "Couldn't migrate 
printers tdb file: NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY"' [1]. In my case no smbd 
is running and the init script did not report any problems.

As far as I see it, there is no workaround for this and the only 
solution provided from Samba would be to upgrade to at least 
version 3.6.7. Alternatively according to Comment #10 [2] the 
patch [3] could also be used against Samba 3.6.6. This bug #9026 
is also mention as "Major enhancements in Samba 3.6.7" [4].
