Yeah, it is because samba wasn't there at that time. I guess but read on..

Um.. I don't see the connection :) But okay :)

... and this appears to be right to the point:

  autopkgtest for backuppc/4.4.0-5: amd64: Regression ...

And yes, the early-today version which worked is 4.4.0-6.

I didn't notice this very detail, I did think it is the same
version of backuppc.  So hopefully everything will be okay
the next run of autopkgtests.

Thank you for your help! Let's see how it all goes..
