[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#915248: rmdir on non-empty samba directory fails silently

Package: samba
Version: 4.5.12

Summary: smbclient rmdir on a non-empty directory does not delete the
directory and also does not error, even with debug flag enabled. Since
GNOME gvfs-smb backend uses libsmbclient, and it uses rmdir to delete
directories, the lack of an error is interpreted as success. But the
directory is not deleted.
