[Bug 1203300] [NEW] Can no longer mount (cifs)

[Ken Sharp]

Public bug reported:

I have no idea what is going on now but following a recent dist-upgrade
(yesterday) my computer refused to boot.

I commented out all the non-essential stuff in my fstab to try and work
out why:

# sudo mount -av
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.0.5,unc=\\192.168.0.5\winetricks,guest,sec=none,noperm,uid=0,gid=50,ver=1,user=,pass=********
Unable to find suitable address.
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.0.5,unc=\\192.168.0.5\wine,guest,sec=none,noperm,uid=0,gid=50,ver=1,user=,pass=********
Unable to find suitable address.

Jul 20 14:11:33 aspire kernel: [ 2619.660374] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation
Jul 20 14:11:33 aspire kernel: [ 2619.660585] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113
Jul 20 14:11:39 aspire kernel: [ 2625.660338] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation
Jul 20 14:11:39 aspire kernel: [ 2625.660551] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113

I went back to the previous kernel to see if that was the cause but it
made no difference. Not even sure if this is the correct package to
report it against!

I can still use gvfs to access the mounts but that's not ideal.
