Trying to ping 41 bug reports in one move, because nothing has happened with them for more than 3 months, they still have the status NEW or REOPENED, there is no "OK" on the Whiteboard and severity and priority are "normal" or higher.

Is this one still valid for Mageia 2 rc?

If it is and you're the assignee, please set status to ASSIGNED if you think this bug was assigned correctly. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead.
If it wasn't assigned correctly, please assign back to Bug Squad and explain.

Yes, dangles are still there after clean install of Mageia-2-rc-x86_64-DVD.iso + updates.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,

Hi Bit Twister,

I know this bug is still valid. I have additional questions:

- Does the absence of this file (ad.so) result in missing functionality within samba?
- The same in reverse: Would dropping the three dangling symlinks from the package result in breakage?

I think I have the problem fixed, but as I don't use samba myself, I wanted to confirm the functionality of these files before submitting the adjusted package.

Thanks in advance for any insight you have on this.

Comment 9 Remco Rijnders 2015-07-07 11:00:03 CEST
I think nss_info as well as the (missing) idmap directory should all move to the samba-winbind package. If anyone disagrees, speak up soon or hold your silence for another three years :-)

My WAG, no.

I have no insight and do not use the rpm. It was there because of the default install from a all package group install of a Mageia-X-x86_64-DVD.iso

> Thanks in advance for any insight you have on this.

In my stupid opinion, when the target of the link is installed, that rpm should create the link.
Comment 11 Remco Rijnders 2015-07-07 12:55:00 CEST
What's WAG? Google suggests "Wives And Girlfriends", but that might not be what you mean...

It seems to me both the target of the link and the links themselves should be part of the same package.

I'll go ahead and push the update. Thanks for reporting this :-)
Comment 12 Remco Rijnders 2015-07-07 13:34:41 CEST
QA,

Can you please test samba-3.6.25-2.mga5 ? See comment #1 on how to test for the problem. Affected files have been moved to the samba-winbind package.
