[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#654701: cifs-utils: Windows share cannot be mounted anymore after dist-upgrade on wheezy (5.1 -> 5.2)

[Didier Trosset]

Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:5.2-1
Severity: important

I have been mounting a Windows share for years. Since I 'apt-get dist-upgrade' my
Debian 'wheezy' testing yesterday (Wed Jan 4th 2012), I cannot mount it
anymore. This upgrade brings in cifs-utils version 5.2.

The share used to be mounted automatically being is /etc/fstab using a
credential file. This does not work anymore. But I aslo tried to mount it
manually calling mount, and mount.cifs using interactive password prompts, and
even trying smbclient without success.

The error returned by mount.cifs is:

    mount error(115): Operation now in progress
    Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I also checked smb.conf, but it looks correct, without any change since
befor the 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.


I have another Debian 'wheezy' testing system that I did not 'apt-get
dist-upgrade'. This system can mount the same Windows share. This latter
is still using cifs-utils 5.1.

I had a look at the changelog for the 5.2 release, but it did not trigger
anything meaningfull for me.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards
Didier
