[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#1009998: gvfs-backends: Unable to access smb://host/sharing on any file manager after upgrade

Package: samba
Followup-For: Bug #1009998
X-Debbugs-Cc: pitsiorisj at outlook.com

The 4.16.2 upgrade reached testing a moment ago, so I tested my filemanager
(pcmanfm, gtk version) for the issue. It can connect to

smb://host/sharename (or smb://ip/sharename)

but not to

smb://host (or smb://ip)

This means the user is not able to see the shares from the host but has to
remember the name of each share in order to connect to it and also do that by
typing its name in the address bar. Does this happen to you as well?
