[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#961585: Samba4 and python3 problem

[Michał Mikurda]

Package: samba-common-bin
Version: 2:4.11.5+dfsg-1+b1

samba-tool returns:
ERROR(<class 'SystemError'>): uncaught exception - max_update_size()
method: bad call flags
  File "/usr/bin/samba-tool", line 44, in <module>
    retval = cmd._run("samba-tool", subcommand, *args)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line
256, in _run
    cmd = self.subcommands[cmd_name]
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/main.py", line 35,
in __getitem__
    self[attr] = getattr(__import__('samba.netcmd.%s' % package,
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/domain.py", line

    from samba.join import join_RODC, join_DC, join_subdomain
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/samba/join.py", line 24, in <module>
    from samba import gensec, Ldb, drs_utils, arcfour_encrypt,

The debian version of samba still has a problem with python version 3.8.
The bug has long been solved in samba sources
(https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14209).
When can a Debian solution be expected?


I'm using bullseye/sid version of Debian
