I was able to fix my problem by forcing samba and samba-common back to 5 (instead of 5.1). I was then able to install smbfs and it is currently working fine.
Still, I suspect there must be a problem somewhere in the Ubuntu repository as, ideally, it would be preferable if simple users like me did not have to force a downgrade of the core samba server... HTH -- samba and smbfs depend on an old version of samba-common https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444926 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
