Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: samba at packages.debian.org

Please unblock package samba

[ Reason ]
There are several changes in this debian release,
a few minor packaging fixes, a bugfix from upstream for
#1109005, and a long-forgotten fix for another issue,
which I wasn't aware of until very recently (when it
hit our setup), - #907318.

While I've no single doubt about the other changes, -
these should go in for trixie, I'm a bit uncertain about
the #907318 fix - it changes pam config for winbind (for
domain logons) to - finally - include pam-winbind in the
account section.  While it works fine in our setup (where
accounting was missing for years), and while exactly the
same setup is done in sssd package (an alternative login
mechanism for active directory users), there might be some
yet unknown surprize still, which is not a good thing to
have this late in the release cycle.

Yet I think this change is worth the effort to have in
trixie (finally!).

[ Impact ]
The bugfix for #1109005 should definitely go in, without
it, a multi-site Active Directory setup is unreliable and
winbind doesn't really work if a remote site becomes
unreachable (which isn't an uncommon thing).

[ Tests ]
This release passes all the usual testing, which is not
a surprize having in mind the changes in there - which are
minor packaging fixes and a bugfix from upstream.  For the
fix for #907318, - I verified it works as intended in our
setup, and I also tried a few different setups to see how
it works in other conditions, - all is working fine so far.

[ Risks ]
The only possible risky situation is with the pam-winbind
fix (#907318).  However, having in mind I tested this change
in several different scenarious, and other distributions use
pam-winbind in a similar (to the new variant) way, there
should be no surprizes here.

[ Checklist ]
  [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]
The "other minor packaging changes", strictly speaking,
are not exactly mandatory, - they're fixing small defects
which don't have much effect on the functionality of the
package, just makes it look less nice, so to say.  Here's
a break-down for each change:

+  * d/python3-talloc.symbols.in: add forgotten epoch number for recent versions
+    (this doesn't actually affect anything since there were no new symbols with
+    these versions, but it's better to stay correct)
  When introducing python3-talloc.symbols, I forgot that the recent
  versions has epoch (2:).  This fixes it just to match the reality,
  but since there were no actual symbols introduced with these versions
  of the library, this does not actually affect anything besides making
  the .symbols file correct.

+  * fix python3-talloc.symbols generation to not have -debian_revision
+    or +dfsg/+samba suffix in the version number - just the epoch if any
+    and the upstream version (fix lintian error)
  Another fix for python3-talloc.symbols, - wrong version number is used
  for the main library version symbol.  It only affects lintian (who gives
  error for this).

+  * d/control: fix winbind:Enhances for libkrb5-26-heimdal which
+    is libkrb5-26t64-heimdal in trixie and up, keeping in mind possible
+    backporting to older debian/ubuntu versions (before-trixie build profile)
  winbind package had Enhances: libkrb5-26-heimdal instead of the renamed
  libkrb5-26t64-heimdal.  It is just Enhances field, but yet it's better to
  fix it.  The fix is done in a way to help me with back-porting this package
  to previous versions of debian (based on before-trixie build profile).
  The result for trixie is just the correct libkrb5-26t64-heimdal package is
  listed in Ehnances: field.

+  * debian/panic-action: make the wording more user-friendly and steer users
+    towards configuration and logs (Closes: #1089853)
  Just some rewording in the script which is invoked when samba is panicking,
  give a bit better idea to the user about what's going on.  It come to my
  attention because of a bug (#1089853) where the user interpreted a samba
  panic (which was result of misconfiguration) as a bug in samba, which
  actually it is not.
  There's no impact of this change on regular samba operations, but in case of
  any trouble, the user will have slightly better idea about what's going on.

So, all the "minor" packaging changes are really minor, there's much more
text in here describing each change than each change is worth :)  But all
them makes the package just a bit better.

The debdiff is below.

Thanks,
