[Bug 1872286] Re: gio - cifs mount smb not possible "Location is not mountable"

[Sebastien Bacher]

Weird that you didn't have gvfs-backends installed, it should be there
on a default installation. How did you install your system?

The new issue seems worth debugging, it's fine to repurpose the bug
here, maybe ask upstream what they prefer on gitlab though?

The error is similar to
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2090 so maybe reusing that
one makes sense
