[Bug 464776] [NEW] Upgrade to Karmic kills smbfs: cifs filesystem not supported by the system

[Frederic de Mesmay]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

I had a perfectly working smbfs installation under Jaunty that doesn't
work anymore in Karmic. I did a regular update the day of the release.
smbfs package version is 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5

$ sudo mount -t smbfs //10.0.2.2/samba /opt/samba -o user=****,password=****
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

smbclient on the same share works without flaws.


$ sudo modprobe smbfs
FATAL: Module smbfs not found.

** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
