Hello Geoffrey, or anyone else affected,
Accepted samba into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/2:4.1.6+dfsg-
1ubuntu2.14.04.5 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance!

Title:
Please raise Suggests for lib{pam,nss}-winbind to Recommends in trusty
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in samba source package in Trusty:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
The Debian packaging of Samba demoted the Recommends relationships to
libpam-winbind and libnss-winbind to Suggests after one Debian
release:
samba (2:3.6.15-1) unstable; urgency=high
* Team upload.
* New upstream bugfix release. Closes: #707042
* Update VCS URL's for new git repo.
* The recommends for the separate libnss-winbind and libpam-winbind
packages needed for the upgrade of winbind from squeeze to wheezy are no
longer needed. Lowering them to suggests.
Closes: #706434, #674853

Unfortunately this isn't enough for the Ubuntu LTS cycle. libpam-
winbind was a separate package in Precise, but libnss-winbind wasn't,
and the release-upgrader therefore doesn't know to install it. Can
those relationships be restored to Recommends in trusty-updates? (This
delta doesn't need to be kept past Trusty.)
We upgraded a server from Precise to Trusty this weekend and it was
really confusing to track down why nobody could log in any more. I
know it's been a while since the Trusty release, but given that
Precise is around for two more years, I strongly suspect we're not the
last people to upgrade a winbind-using Precise machine, and
configuring samba correctly is confusing enough as it is. :)
